Dead Pixel 

A pixel on an LCD screen that stays a single bright colour irrespective of the surrounding background. Can be at least partly toned out by stroking the relevant area of the screen.
There were a couple of dead pixels on my screen last night.

The Dead Pixel 

‘the dead pixel’ refers to the lasting affect being sexually assaulted has on one’s life and mind. the term derives from the game ‘mouthwashing’ when the character Anya speaks about always noticing a dead pixel in the corner of a certain screen. she mentions that the one pixel is always in the back of her mind and ruins the whole illusion of the immersive screen. this pixel is a metaphor for her being assaulted by a coworker and living in constant paranoia, with the thought she is as wrong and filthy as her assaulter implies she is.
despite my many efforts, i can’t seem to ignore the dead pixel.

Dead pixels

Sometimes a LCD / TFT monitor will have one or more pixels that are not working. These will remain a certain color or be black or white, but won't display colors dinamically like the rest of the screen. There's nothing you can do about them yourself, but normally manufacturers will give you a refund.
The LCD screen has several dead pixels.

Dead Pixels

Dead Pixels (short for Dead Pixels Ghost Club or DPGC) are a collection of pixel-perfect ghost NFTs on the Hedera network, with various fun traits making each one completely unique. These little spirits are here to create some lighthearted ruckus, send good vibes, and support the community.
I thought my Dead Pixels Ghost vanished but then I remembered I left it in another wallet.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
