A television show / movie you’ve seen enough times that you know the plot by heart and it no longer requires active attention to follow, so you watch it while you’re completing other quiet activities, to fill the room with some kind of noise.
Friend: Hey, I thought we were going to study, why is Friends/Seinfield/The Office/Parks and Rec on?
You: I’m not watching it, it’s just background noise, let’s study!

verb. bft, background facetime, bft-ing
term used to describe the activity of video calling someone but then not talking to them. typically used as an alternative for hanging out with someone when you can't do it in person. individuals in the call will carry-on with their normal tasks (e.g., studying, watching videos, laundry, etc.) and often will mute themselves as to not distract the person they're videoing (essentially: facetiming someone in the background while you both do other tasks).
video calling platforms are not limited to facetime - it can also include skype, zoom, etc.

The background check is preformed while hitting it doggystyle. You take your right thump and insert it into her ass. Be sure to wiggle it around and get it nice and deep. When you remove your thumb it should have a good amount of poo on it. Now take your right thumb and put a poopy thumb print on her ass cheek. Similar to a live scan, DROS, or background check.
