typosquatter

Someone who registers the name of a website so it is one letter off or very similar to another, more popular website. The intention of a typosquatter is that the people who mistyped the site they originally tried to visit will be redirected to this other, false site. Almost all the time, these sites have viruses, porn, or try to scam you in some way. A typosquatter is simply making a lame attempt at gaining visitors to their fake, junk website by preying on unfortunate people, whether they have bad spelling or simply mistyped the web address.

Mike is the constant victim of a typosquatter because of his bad spelling. He gets to fake sites by typing things like goofle.com, faceboook.com, and youtibe.com.

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!
