Screen cheater

A person who, typically in first person shooters (fps), will look upon someone else's screen. Generally frowned upon, looked-down upon, and it pisses people off.

There are a couple reasons for doing this. It will locate a person for you, and you will know which way to aim. You can see whether or not someone is following you stealth-like, usually only when radars are off. You know which way the bullets are coming from.

Not recommended.

Screen Looking

1) When a gamer uses the opposing player(s) screen to his/her advantage during Splitscreen mode.

2) A common excuse used by short tempered gamers who are either in 2nd-4th place in a Splitscreen match.
1) Damn Jeff, I've camped in four different spots, and each time you managed to run up to me and knife me from behind. you gotta be screen looking.

2) (Game Ends, Player 3 Victorious) Player 3: Dude I was running the same course for about a minute, so I decided to turn around thinking "Maybe If i go the opposite direction, I'll finally bump into someone, and then you were just right out in the open." Player 1: Bull! You were screen looking! You're such a screen looker! (Player 3: 17 kills, and 12 deaths.) (Player 1: 13 kills, and 21 deaths)

Screen Hacking

Mark: "Gotcha! 5 kills in a row!"

Harry: "I know you're @#$%ing screen hacking."

Screen Saver 

An office phenomenon in which a colleague, tired from boredom, sleep deprivation, or partying, is fighting the urge to fall asleep in a multi hour review meeting. The eyes shut for brief seconds and then half open as the victim is hanging on to the last thread of alertness.
After hour two of the weekly operations review meeting, Ed was observed going into screen saver mode. His colleagues enjoyed watching his battle with consciousness.
