blue screen of death

A screen that appears on all versions of Windows when the system has an error so bad it has to shut down. The error text is displayed as DOS text on a blue background, hence the name. Versions before XP were notorious for giving this screen VERY frequently, though later versions were progressively more stable. XP and Vista users generally don't get this unless:
1. They fuck with software in ways they're really not supposed to.
2.They build their computer themselves and install vital parts wrong.
3. They use bad drivers, especially with their video cards or motherboards.

Blue screen

A phrase coined in the earlier Windows days when a blue screen would appear while you were doing something important and you would have to restart your fucking computer because all operating systems up to XP were unstable as fuck.

safety screen

Another safe website or program you have open, so that when you are looking at a dirty site or NSFW material you can quickly switch/exit to that window, making you look perfectly innocent. Casually whistle when a person looks at your screen for added effect. Best for people with quick reflexes.
I was looking at porn today, but luckily I tabbed to my safety screen when my boss walked by.
