A Zenbomb is a uniquely canadian twist on the jagbomb. After decades of piggybacking on the success of their southern neighbors it should come as no surprise that canadians would come up with a shortcut to spiritual enlightenment.

The Zenbomb essentially a shot of jagermeister laced with codeine that has been acquired through the cold water extraction method. Codeine in saline solution like this is extremely bitter to taste, so by adding it to jagermeister it is easier to ingest. Something about the jag greatly enhances the effects, leading to that inner peace that seems so hard to acquire.
dude, fuck yoga! You want inner peace? have a zenbomb!

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.
