Teaser trailer

n.

1. A short trailer used to advertise an upcoming film, television program, video game or similar, usually released long in advance of the product, so as to "tease" the audience. Unlike typical theatrical trailers, they’re usually very short in length (between 30–60 seconds) and usually contain little, if any, actual footage from the film.

Teaser trailers are often made while the film is still in production or being edited and as a result they may feature scenes or alternate versions of scenes that are not in the finished film. Other ones (notably Pixar films) have scenes made for use in the trailer only, while sometimes, it is merely a truncated version of a theatrical trailer. Their purpose is less to tell the audience about a movie's content than simply to let them know that the movie is coming up in the near future, and to add to the hype of the upcoming release. Teaser trailers today are increasingly focused on internet downloading and the convention circuit.

Cloverfield, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the newer Star Wars films, and The Ring, are all examples of major motion picture events that used teaser trailers to gain hype.

teasewich

(n.) -- A convenience store sandwich that looks like it is stuffed with fillings, from the outside view on the shelf, but once you open the plastic wrapping, the sad truth becomes evident that you've been had.

''I just hate it when I plunk down good cold cash for what I think is going to be a big tuna sandwich, but when I open the wrapping, it's just a teasewich, and there's hardly anything inside the bread! They just use the mouth of the sandwich as a come on!"

type tease

When someone that you are IMing with types out a message but then never hits enter to send it, prompting the status message "friend has started typing" or "friend has entered text" for a while. A type tease then deletes the partially or wholly written message, making the "friend has started typing" status go away, so you know that they were going to send something but did not.

I was chatting with Melissa last night, and she always types stuff out, but then deletes it. She's such a type tease!
