White Screen of Death

The screen that appears if you are curious enough to watch a VHS tape beyond the credits. It shows a screen after a few minutes of a blank screen, usually white or black, and has a beep noise like in a test pattern. They usually show up for a few minutes and then goes back to a blank screen, or continues until the tape is ended by static. No one knows what the purpose of them are as of yet. I guess they had to be cheap, they could of just showed a screen saying "End of VHS tape, please press stop" but no, they had to show something irritating and horrifying.

TV: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"

Friend: "What the hell is that noise?"

Me: "Oh, its the White screen of death, I forgot to shut the VHS off, I guess it woke both of us up. That movie was boring."

Friend: "Whats a White Screen of Death?"

Me: "Its what is on the TV right now, no one knows what it means."

Adult: "It means the movie is over! Damn, you kids don't know nothing!"

Me: "No, there has to be a more logical explanation for them!"

Screen Hustling

A technique one may use during the play calling process of the John Madden Football video game in which one would take a mental snapshot of an opponents play calling screen at the time of said opponents play selection with the intentions of gaining advantage by narrowing down and knowing said opponents selected play. Not to be confused with Controller Jocking, which is a less refined, more primitive style of cheating.

The only reason he won is cause he was screen hustling the whole game!

The screen savers

A Show that has almost no adult supervision since two-thirds of the cast quit/got pinkslipped, and sometimes has no adult supervision at all.
Yoshi doesn't count as adult supervision, as he uses sharp objects & things that blow up.

The old screen savers was better than the new.

Blue Screen of Death

a simple error that happens to morbidly outdated or cheap PCs.

The solution to this is to restart the computer.

This particular error message has been hyped up by Mac users to legendary proportions.

i personally have experianced the Blue Screen of Death once in the last 14 years of using PCs.

I do not know anyone who experiances this error message on a yearly basis.

It happened when i got a major virus because i didnt get any antivirus.

Screen cheater

A person who, typically in first person shooters (fps), will look upon someone else's screen. Generally frowned upon, looked-down upon, and it pisses people off.

There are a couple reasons for doing this. It will locate a person for you, and you will know which way to aim. You can see whether or not someone is following you stealth-like, usually only when radars are off. You know which way the bullets are coming from.

Not recommended.

Screen cheaters on Halo 2 pisses people off. It's a low way to get some points.
