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!
