button-bashing

In video-gaming, the act of pressing your gamepad's buttons as quickly as possible, often randomly.
A technique employed by the uninitiated in fighting games, sometimes to great effect, highlighting the brainlessness of the button-bashing genre.
The descriptively more accurate and better-sounding progenitor of the 'button-mashing' bastardization.

button clitting

Repeatedly pressing the elevator button as if doing so will make the elevator come sooner.
Observer: "You seem to think that pressing the elevator button again and again will make the elevator come more quickly. It won't. You're button clitting, and its a total waste of energy."
Button Clitter: "I know, but I can't help it."

Button Burn

Occurs when you take a pair of jeans just out of the dryer, and put them on. The Hot metal button painfully singes the surface of your skin hence the name Button Burn.
Dude I was late for a dinner date, and had no clean pair of jeans. I tossed a pair in the dryer to freshen them up I put them on on the way out the door and got a bad case of Button Burn.
