Phantom Scanning

The act of appearing to scan the NHS track and trace app, but not actually scanning it
So I popped into Pizza Express for a quick bite, and the waitress was like ‘you’ve got to scan the NHS app before sitting down’. So I take out my phone and appear to scan it, but in fact I’m phantom scanning it. No lock down for me, ha ha ha ha

RETRO-SCAN

Exhaustive facial analysis to try to figure out how someone that has just greeted you, but you no longer recognize, used to look a while ago.
I bumped into Kathy Loggins yesterday, and despise a very long retro-scan, couldnt match the 300 pound lady with our former head of cheerleaders..

Scan & Scram

Something that university/college students do in order to get the attendance marks for lectures/tutorials/seminars/lessons that they never attended. They can the attendance scanner outside the room their lesson is in with their student ID, the system marks them as present and they leave and go home or somewhere else other than the lesson. Smart teachers/lecturers will not allow this to happen and will manually change it to absent once they notice the student isn't there.

Scram is an informal word for leave or go away.
Student 1: You can afford to miss another lesson mate.
Student 2: Don't worry. I'll just Scan & Scram, I'll be fine.
