Dual screening

The art of watching TV whilst simultaneously surfing on a laptop.

Practiced by many at many different levels of expertise, but very few achieve true mastery of demanding sport. Great skill is needed to be both immersed in a TV show/film whilst also multi-tabbing Facebook, eBay and Youtube.

Considered a hobby by most enthusiasts, also known as DSAs (Dual Screen Artists). Like any hobby, specific times are set aside for Dual Screening, and can be practiced for long periods by veterans.

When in this state the DSA is unreachable by other humans, and will not respond to any attempts at communication or other worldly distractions.

Free Screening Syndrome

The human brain's ability to enjoy a mediocre or worse film way more than it should because said film was screened in advance or for free.
"George said that flick was really good, I thought it sucked."
"Yeah, but he saw it like two years ago when they were testing it. He thinks he's special. Free Screening Syndrome."

Screening

When you read a BBM message without actually opening the conversation, so the sender does not know that it has been read. This makes it easier to avoid them because the sender is unaware they are being ignored.

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.
