webbering 

It comes from the name of the ex Formula One driver Mark Webber. He was "flying" with the car many times.

He did wheelies, and sometimes he really took off with the car after a crash... and before an other crash, like in Valencia, in 2010.

In his pre-F1 years, he was driving at the Le Mans 24H and guess what? He was flying with the car. That was a horrifying crash, but he survived without damage, he simply walked away.

So when someone "flies" with his car, he is simply webbering.
Räikkönen and Maldonado were webbering in the second free practice of Bahrain GP in 2014.

Look at that! Petrov is webbering!

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!

Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
