jank

On an electronic screen, jank is the phenomenon of a sudden, brief stops in an animation or other motion on the screen. Typically, this is due to the underlying hardware's ability to update the display quickly enough. When an animation or other kind suffers from this problem, the performance is considered "janky".

Look at all that jank when you try to scroll the image horizontally.
