a deceitful interaction between a user and a user interface, in which the user attempts to click/tap a button/action region on the user interface; but, the user interface underneath the user's mouse/finger changes to a different button/action region before the user clicks/taps, and the time between the user interface's change and the user's click/tap is shorter than the user's reaction time; thus, the user is forced to click/tap something which they did not want to click/tap

"I wanted to click "Read More" on the news website while the website was still loading, but right before I clicked it, the advertisement right next to it slid underneath my mouse, so I was jesterbuttoned into clicking the ad instead! GAH, now I have malware on my computer!"
