Term to be used in the future to describe an actual "leak" of gameplay footage within the video game industry. This is due to idiot gaming bloggers misusing the word "leak" to refer to any legitimately released footage by developers because it draws hits to their website because when people see the word "leak" they think "OMFG SECRETS!"
"Well thanks for overusing the word "leak" dickheads, now we have to use something else to describe an actual leak, so we're going with the word "cakeshot".
