read/edit

In writing, or especially in typing, when you read over something you've already written and make modifications as you go. For example, you read "happy, joyful, optimistic" and change it to "happy, joyful, and optimistic." Read/editing is usually done in a casual situation, like a Facebook message to a friend, but can also apply to more serious situations, like your college application.

Martha was nervous about the message her text would send, so she spent a minute read/editing it.

Self-edit

Sitting on Urban Dictionary, editing stuff, until you come across the thing you just sent in for publishing. A moment of pure awesome as you hit the 'publish' button, a 'what the hell was I thinking' moment of shame as you hit the 'don't publish' or a moment of 'I'm gonna let someone else decide' as you hit the 'I don't know' button.

Girl: I was soooooo bored that I was editing on Urban Dictionary for so long that I actually got one of my own publishes!
Boy: Self-edit moment. What did you hit?
Girl: Duh, it was the product of high sugar in-take and supreme boredom! I shot it down before I let myself feel the shame of having it on the Internet.

just edit that out

Typically used by Youtubers or content creators, "just edit that out" or any variation is used when a person makes a hilarious mistake during the recording of the video. Normally, this part of the video is never really taken away from it or "edited out" because it's funny and the content creators believe that their subscribers and viewers will enjoy watching them and laughing at their own expense.

Youtuber: *dies in a combat battle in Uncharted 4* "Oops, just edit that out."
Viewer: lmao wtf !! what a n00b.
