glitch

Seen commonly in the music press:

1. N. A genre of music, sometimes considered a subset of ambient or idm, which focuses on the idea of "errors" as a musical element. The "errors" in question are usually digital; a common element in glitch music is the rhythmic squeaking clicking noise which occurs when you play back a CD which has been badly scratched.

Seen less commonly, sort of local slang:

2. Adj/Adv. Something which produces pleasantly confusing and/or unpleasantly disorienting effects akin to those commonly resulting from listening to glitch music.
3. Verb. Doing something to someone which produces such effects.
1. "Oval is probably the most well-known artist in glitch, and his album "Systemisch" can be said to define the genre."
2. "The entire game consists of rolling up random 3D objects into a big wad and then throwing them into the sky. It's pretty glitch."
3. "'I saw Being John Malkovich this weekend, it totally glitched me."

gitsurfing

Gitsurfing (aka biddysurfing) is when a young person (usually around 9-15) runs up behind an old person and jumps on his or her back, the momentum of the run-up causing the oldie to move forward a few steps before falling to the floor. The craze, though possibly not the words gitsurfing or biddysurfing, is thought to have originated in Manchester in the mid-1990s and appears to be slowly growing in popularity.

Glitched

The terms glitch and glitched are mainly used when something in a game powered by technology goes wrong. Other times, it may be just because something has not been considered. When it is not considered, you may be able to go through walls, some things may appear incorrectly, you could get stuck in the ground, et cetera. Other times people will use other meaning for it, but I will not mention these things in this, as there are other panels for this reason.
Person 1: Umm.. dude, look at this glitching. (look at the gif thing i don't know)
Person 2: O....kay.... Um...
Person 1: Maybe if if I just go off of the game..? -Leaves and rejoins-
Person 2: Oh gosh that's worse.
Person 1: I'm just going to leave and NOT rejoin.. -Leaves and walks away-
Person 1: That glitched hard..
