Screen-Breaking

When you unplug, eactivate your social media accounts, and disappear for a three-day weekend/holiday.
During quarantine, your Screen-Breaking options are Scrabble and homemade sushi, but we're planning a group camping trip for summer Screen-Breaking.

green screen of death

A green screen that Barney will give you if you are mean to him, or he does something that he wasn't supposed to do, in which you get when the computer crashes, thus you must manually restart your computer, also if Barney does something and it was his fault you received a green screen of death, instead of the normal mad Barney pointing his arrow at the message telling you that you need to restart your computer, he will point his arrow at the reason why it crashed, and he will be shocked, and there will be a note from Barney explaining to you what happened, and there will be an item or video thumbnail that cause the computer to crash with a red prohibition sign on it, and he will tell you that you may need to install something to prevent this from happening again, preferably a driver or antivirus, and may even restart your computer for you.
Barney: Oh no, You got the Green Screen of Death, you have to restart your computer
You: I need to restart

Empty Screen Syndrome

The anxious paralysis that strikes when a student or professional stares at a blank screen, unsure how to begin a task—especially when AI tools are available but ethical use is unclear. Often triggered by perfectionism, decision fatigue, or fear of misusing technology.

ought-screen

Being the contraction of "I ought to get more screen time from my parents", this slang term refers to the phenomenon where your parents always limit your screen time that you suddenly lose your "appetite" to binge-watch YouTube. Hence, it eventually "shapes" your habits of limiting your own screen time whilst paradoxically teaching children how to get more screen time from their parents.
Ever since my parents started limiting my screen time, I’ve developed this ought-screen mentality—now I barely want to binge-watch anything, even though I’m always scheming ways to convince them to let me have more!

Screen Flair

When you don’t do shit at work but have a lot of windows open to give the impression you’re working hard. (including but not limited to old spreadsheets, word documents, and PowerPoints.)
