shock death

A death in a slasher movie that's over the top and gory that shocks the audience.

The audience gasped at the sudden shock death.

Shield of Death

A term used in reference to the icon displayed when Windows XP or Vista has updates to install, thus resulting in a lengthy shut down of one's computer.

Dude, sorry I'm late. I went to shut down my computer and got the Shield of Death.

blue screen of death

In the bad old days before XP, this was a frequent occurence on computers which ran on a Windows OS. In some of the worst cases, you only had to look at the computer in a funny manner for the temperamental bastard to give you the Blue Screen Of Death! It usually tells you some shit like "a fatal error has occured" and gives you some mathematical gibberish. Basically, it means the operating system is rather shite and can't be arsed doing what you wanted it to do...

I remember a few years ago on my section at work we had this computer that gave us the Blue Screen Of Death so fuckin' often on a daily basis that I ended up decorating the monitor with the chequered tape we normally use on files if someone is terminally ill!

White Screen of Death

The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".

A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.

The White Screen of Death is why I now have a Creative.

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.

I started up Windows 95 and got the Blue Screen of Death before I even logged in!

Every second you live, is a second closer to death. So live every second doing something you love.

This is actually a quote that I came up with. My friend said that all quotes are positive and inspiring. I proved him wrong 🤣. I put it again if you couldn't see it.

Every second you live, is a second closer to death. So live every second doing something you love.
