screener

A pre vhs tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a vhs tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (fullscreen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any serial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occured, some looking better than others.

(Sometimes abbreviated with SCR, DVDSCR.)

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.

or:

This girl has been gray screening the hell out of me!

screentrance

A phenomenon that happens when you stare at a computer screen when keybored and you become cross-eyed. You are about to fall asleep, only your eyes are partly open.

Then it appears that the guy staring in the screen is in a trance from the view of another guy.

A Guy: Is he okay?
Another Guy: I think so. He's probably in a screentrance.
