trashvertising 

The act of advertising by leaving printed promotional materials where someone will have remove it and/or throw it away to go about their daily business. Fliers on door handles, fliers on car windshields, "sample" newspapers in the driveway. These items often end up in the parking lot, street, etc. as people typically just throw them somewhere to get them out of the way.

Neighbor 1: "Watcha doing?"
Neighbor 2: "Fixing my snow blower. Blades are jammed." *grunts*
Neighbor 1: "From what?"
Neighbor 2: (pulls out a mangled wad of paper) "That stupid ad-covered newspaper thingy."
Neighbor 1: "Salty. You get the daily paper?."
Neighbor 2: "No. It's just a bunch of ads they give out...try and get you to subscribe. They throw them all over the neighborhood."
Neighbor 1: "What dicks."
Neighbor 2: "Yeah...I hate the Plain Dealer and their trashvertising. It's gonna cost me $50 to have this thing fixed."

pixel fuck 

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.

To be really busy at a computer, usually in a frantic manner, as in trying to hit a looming deadline. May have a slightly biased reference to programming or writing, but can relate to any work done on the computer. Refers to the first sex letters on a standard English keyboard.
Nevin: You see Vanessa?
Julius: Yeah...but don't bother her. The magazine goes to the printer in less than an hour and she's all qwerty.
