Second Screen 

Any device with a screen other than that of a television set.

Origin: The Television was the first, widely adapted technological advancement that allowed users to ignore human interaction by offering visual and audible stimulation. Secondary devices such as computers, handhelds and cellphones have become a means of distraction in this new technological age and are constantly evolving to offer more time wasting and socially hermitting features.
If you don't get off the internet now, I will lock up the power cords and batteries to all the second screens in the house. That means-No Computer, No Ipod, No Cellphone, No gameboy, No portable dvd player, No PSP, No graphing calculator, not even allowed to have your e-reader.

Doh! I missed bypassing the commercial. Must be suffering from second screen syndrome.

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

Daniel was obviously second screening during the meeting; he was tweeting at the same time.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
