Side-Scroller

A genre of video game in which the characters exist on a 2D plane (or mostly 2D plane), and they run side to side, often with the ability to jump up or down to different points on the map to avoid obstacles or reach objectives. As the player runs to one side of the screen, the camera will follow them, allowing them to uncover more of the map as they go.

"Oh, is that another one of those side-scroller games?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah... I've just been running right forever. I think it's endless."

zoom and scroll

A tactic used by engineers and architects to trick coworkers or superiors into thinking they are actually working. The two actions refer to the controls on a mouse and their affiliations in AutoCad.

Nice job Mike! You sure are a hard worker. (Boss)
Stupid asshole! I just got him with the zoom and scroll! (Mike to Dan)

The "Groan And Scroll"

The action that you perform when not commenting on someone's facebook post that you don't know that well and in a sense "turn the other cheek", even though it is completely outlandish and they need to be called out on it.

Facebook status: 'You should read controversial politician name here's new book. Her stance on insert ridiculous political viewpoint here is something that is good for all of society. Praise be to insert a religious reference here!'

At this point... you think about replying, but decide instead to do the "Groan and Scroll" to keep scrolling on to other statuses thinking it's not worth it and better to leave them in their small minded world instead.

scrolling

In internet chat rooms and instant messaging, "scrolling" is the practice of turning what should be one line of text into multiple lines. This is an annoyance to other users, as scrolled messages take up more screen real estate.

keep scrolling

A term used to tell someone to move on.

Specifically used on social media platforms and forums to let someone know you would like them to move on and keep scrolling past your status update.

To ask someone to 'keep scrolling' generally means you have no time for their opinion, comments or existence.

'Keep scrolling' is not restricted to the world of social media and can be applied to real life situations where you've got no time.

Status update: Favourite movies? Go.

Comment: Twilight

Response to comment: keep scrolling <insert friend name>

scroll and key

Yale College Secret Society founded in mid-19th century by Yale undergraduates who were not offered membership in Skull and Bones. Since that founding, it has grown into a large and successful organization, possessing a financial endowment even greater than that of Skull and Bones.

Housed in a persian-style "tomb" on the Yale campus at the corner of Wall and College Streets, it is the secret society closest to the office of Yale's President.

Although it has an alumni list (i.e. Dean Acheson, Calvin Trillin) equal to that of Bones, Scroll and Key remains under the radar of scholars and conspiracy theorists alike.

Within Scroll and Key, as with all secret societies, is a rich history of undergraduate life as it has evolved over the past 200 years. These archives are available only to members.

Scott was tapped by Bones, but decided on the more anonymous Scroll and Key instead.
