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.

Gray Screening

The act of sending multiple text messages to someone without receiving a reply, causing the visible range of the iphone text message (sms) screen to be filled solely with gray message bubbles.

Note: The accumulation of texts causing a "gray screen" can occur over minutes, hours, or days; as long as the consecutive stream or thread of messages (multiple gray message bubbles) is uninterrupted by the recipient sending a reply (green message bubble)

Hudson: You know that girl I met at Dan's Cafe Friday night?
David: Yeah?
Hudson: Well, she totally gray screened me last night.
David: Dude...sounds like a clinger to me.
Hudson: Yeah, stage nine.

or:

This girl has been gray screening the hell out of me!

print-screen

Verb referring to the action of pressing the "Print-Screen" button (PrtSc) on your keyboard and using it to capture something on the screen that is funny or interesting. The image can then be pasted onto Paint and saved. After it is saved, you can send it, print it, view it, or just reflect on it.

I had to hit print-screen PrtSc during the movie to show you an image of what I was watching.
