Scanning Syndrome

When someone chronically misses obvious details and words after reading or looking at written material. A sister of Tunnel Vision.

His sister sent him his OWN number and he proceeded to ask her who’s number that was….clear case of scanning syndrome

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

Deep Resource Scanning

The use of advanced remote sensing technologies—like muon tomography, quantum gravimetry, or deep-penetrating radar—to map and identify valuable mineral, aqueous, or energy resources buried kilometers beneath a planet's or moon's surface. It's the high-tech equivalent of X-ray vision for entire landscapes, allowing prospectors to "see" ore deposits, groundwater aquifers, or geothermal pockets without digging a single hole. This is the critical first step for any large-scale off-world mining or colony site selection.

Example: Before establishing a Mars base, a fleet of orbiters and rovers would perform Deep Resource Scanning to pinpoint the exact location of subsurface water-ice deposits, saving a colony from drilling a dozen dry holes. On an asteroid, such scanning could map the internal veins of platinum-group metals before sending in mining drones.

Stanning

The act of being overly obsessed with an artist/person/character/etc.

STalker + fAN = STAN

Eminem's song "Stan" embodied all the aspects of what it means to be a huge fanatic of a music artist, and the word has since been used to encompass all obsessive fan behavior.

My Xander love comes from my Buffy stanning.

I've been stanning Beyonce for so long I couldn't stop if I wanted to.

Swanning

The act of masturbating among your peers without them noticing.

Climax is signalled with a sharp honking sound.

Youths up and down the country have begun 'swanning' as a way to earn social status among their friends.

'Oh god, I just caught matthew swanning again.'

'Honk! Honk! Honk!'
'Doesn't count mate, we saw you whack it out.'
