We spent so long trying to beat that level last night that I ended up with pixel delerium. I could hardly focus on the road driving home afterwards.

To nit-pick on a creative project that is not your own, usually focusing on minor details that eventually stack up and change the look and feel of the piece. Very unnerving to the creative in charge of the project, especially if the pixel fucker is standing right behind the creative during the production.
Account Exec: Hey...you finish editing that spot yesterday?
Editor: Hell no! I thought we were going to be done by lunch time, but the stupid client pixel fucked it until midnight. He'll be here in a hour for more.

When someone pays way too much attention looking at a visual effects shot in a film. Often happens when examining the grain of a composite element to make sure it matches the film stock. Someone who pixel-fucks pays more attention to things like grain than the overall effectiveness of the shot. This is often because they are small-minded bean-counters, and miss the point of a shot entirely.
Closely related to 'frame-fucking'. See also 'pixel-fucking microscope'.

An endless and usually contradictory stream of requests - from "business guys" - to move an image or part of a web page up|left|right|down X pixels so that it lines up with some other arbitrary and unrelated part of the web application.
An often fatal disease, mostly affecting business owners and project managers which typically ends in a horrible death - usually by bludgeoning with the nearest blunt implement (a keyboard to the face is a common cause of death).

Business Guy: "Hey, front end guy, could you just move that line of text so that the bottom of it lines up with the top of the letter 'M' in the third paragraph of the second column six words from the left and diagonally across from that image of a flux capacitor?"
Front End Guy: "Dude, I've had enough of you and your endless pixel wanking. Taste my keyboard of death, motherfucker!"

A derogatory term for graphic designers, motion graphic artists, 3D artists and other computer-related fields related to the visual arts industry. Used by producers and HR recruiters as term of condescension to those artists whose skills, they do not ultimately understand.
Like the racist lawn jockeys of golf clubs and the racist term camel jockeys, the term implies a being of lower status and the master-slave relation between the owner and owned.
Actual 3D artists and graphic designers would never refer to themselves as pixel jockeys, preferring to use job titles for the fields which they respectfully have mastered.
