irregardless is the word that you hear a lot that doesn't exist (yet)
unthaw is like some 1984 doublespeak language.
like the word freeze has been banned... and so we are only allowed to use thaw and unthaw to describe the process.

Exactly!
Conspiracy theory!! Had to do a google search for this word.... 3rd entry down.... http://www.etterretningen.no/tag/unodin/
The Norwegian Defence and Intelligence service... what are they hiding and why does it flag up on google...
As my mother and my aunt used to say "irregardlessly thereof" to point out the absurdity.
I always here this in the sentences similar to, "can you unthaw something for dinner?" or "my mother unthawed steak for the BBQ tomorrow"
And whats going through my mind is "Oh great, we're having frozen steak again".

Irregardless of whether you think it exists, say it long enough and it goes in the dictionary!
so they just need to know what the actual definition of thaw is and be introduced to the word freeze.
not sure why that's localized... maybe the school there sucked hard (maybe still does). Luckily it's not widespread cuz I've never heard it in passing.

...hence the (yet)
You haven't lived if you haven't converted it to PowerShell...
powershell isn't as bad as old school bat cmd ...whatever they called windows/dos scripting before powershell.
couple more years and windows will basically be a UI on top of linux. How's that for optimism.

Ohhhhh, but its a much larger conspiracy than that...
You have the wrong (Darth) End of the stick - PowerShell is awesome!
Give me a twenty line vbscript and I can generally throw out a 3 line PowerShell to replace it. Batch script... pfft...

Yeah, generally PowerShell one liners for the win!
While I grant that you COULD be right, it doesn't seem to be the direction they're heading, quite the opposite in fact.
I use Windows hosted Ubuntu on a daily basis.
I do this too, far too often!
You what I discovered the other day. You know those bloody Brocade fibre-channel switches that need an outdated version of Java that's been hacked into pieces and never updated, and works if the wind is blowing in the right direction and no-one is humming Rick Astley...
Well, install WSL - add IcedTea and an x-server and no more troubles. It's like I've emerged from a nightmare into a field full of flowers, sunshine and bunnies!!! (Not you Mr Wabbit!)
