Script Syndrome

A condition in which a written media will make a character, or characters speak or act in a way that seems contrary to their interests, past conflicts, or ideals for the sake of emphasizing a certain point or narrative device, as if the characters were reading off a script.

e.g. Leorio and Kurapika's argument on the elevator in the second episode of Hunter x Hunter.

Scripting

The fine art of making up a wildly elaborate story to explain why you’re late, why you forgot something, or why you just didn’t feel like doing something—while maintaining a straight face.

"Jeremiah was late again. He said a bear broke into his house and stole his car keys. Classic scripting."

script kiddie

A kid (ages 8-13) who deeply wants to become a programmer and deeply lacks the understanding and skill required, and copes by stealing or using GPT on everything and claim it as their own.

Person 1: Look at this script I made: Stolen code

Person 2: You script kiddie I know who made the original.
