A term stated to a dumbass who has extreme tunnel vision and thus cannot see something appear at the bottom left of their screen in a game. An individual often needs to tell them that it is, in fact in the bottom left of their screen. This often takes several repeats before the individual understands.
1: "NO. BOTTOM LEFT. "
2: *comically turns mouse to face bottom left rather than look at the bottom left of screen* "Okay"
1: "BRO I MEANT LIKE LOOK THERE. "
2: *visibly confused* "what tf do you mean "Bottom left"?"
1: "BOTTOM LEFT"
2: *finally looks and realizes* "OHHHH im a dumbass!"
