toursomnia 

A form of insomnia that results from watching too much of Le Tour de France - specifically for those viewers in timezones far enough east & west of France for it to be televised through the night or early hours.

Similar side effects to regular insomnia, except that the sufferrer may have Phil Ligget's dulcet tones on their mind as they drift off to sleep, or perhaps dream of invading French castles in the war due to the mandatory historical brief given for every castle that is ridden past.
Joe: "So the wife and I are travelling through France next year"

Bob: "Nice"

Paul (practically asleep): "Be sure to check out the medieval castle from Stage 7 in Andelot-Morval, built in 1206 by Humbert III of Coligny ... (yawns) ... Well preserved and characteristic of the Middle Ages military architecture, which were .... zzzzzzzzzzz"

Joe: "WTF?"

Bob: "Toursomnia dude"

OR

Andy, sitting in traffic, sees a car indicate and pull into the faster lane. In his best Phil Ligget accent:
"Oh he's making a break! We were waiting for this! Now how is the peleton going to react?"

Wife, sitting next to him: "....... OK, no more Tour de France for you until you've had some sleep. You've got bad toursomnia babe. Now get out and let me drive."

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
