Screener Season

Christmas for BitTorrent users.

Screener season takes place in early January to mid-February when special DVD copies of movies being considered for awards like the Oscars are sent out to voters.

These movies are usually still in theaters / cinemas at the time so the only other pirated copies around are poor quality cams.

Inevitably, these special copies find their way onto popular BitTorrent sites like Pirate Bay.

You can tell it's a screener because there's a watermark that pops up every so often saying "For Your Consideration".

Jim: Do you guys want to go see Django at the movie theatre on Thursday?

Dave: It's screener season next week dude, I can just hook my laptop up to the TV.

Jim: Oh sweet.

screwvenir 

anything that you keep (whether stolen or given to you) from someone's house after you've slept with them.

Laura didn't really like doing it with Chip so much, but she did nab a copy of Time Magazine with Mick Jagger on it from his house as a screwvenir.

Scheveningen 

Scheveningen is a city in The Netherlands.

The Dutch try to get American tourists to say it for their own pleasure and laughs. They can't. You have to have the "schhuuchhh" in your throat (like a bug is in there). Don't try because you'll practice for a long time and get nowhere. I tried.

Dutch Boy: Say "Scheveningen"

American Girl: Shev-en-innngeeen? Shabahahabla?

Dutch Boy: Hahaha

American Girl: What did I say?

Dutch Boy: Scheveningen; it's a city. American's and German's can't say it.

During the Zoom staff meeting, Mollie second screened and caught up on her emails.

Screening 

1) Its a term that means reading a message and choosing to ignore it or pretend you havent read it.
2) Seeing someone's caller ID on your phone "screen" and then you deliberately let it ring out.

3) A common form of underhanded cheering of video gamers to give them a tactical upper hand by spying / looking at another payers screen (most usually on split screen games) - is often also referd to as screen-spying.
It is mostly unforgivable on 1st person shooters #TC
