screen time conventions

The phenomenon where until smartphones have been around for sufficiently long periods of time, there are multiple different conventions on how well a child should behave in order to get more screen time. Even though by now, there have been found the following deciding factors on whether someone (children or otherwise) should (be allowed to) have screen time: a) the desired duration of screen time, b) the purpose of having screen time, c) personal susceptibility towards the effect(s) of excessive screen time.
In our household, screen time conventions are strict; we have to consider behavior, purpose, and how long the kids can actually handle it without experiencing brainrot.

Waste Of Time

A waste of time is what you're doing right now, but I know you want to read. Right now, you could be browsing a way to cure cancer, maybe even win an olimpics. Whatever just be productive, don't read this. Oh, well seems like your life is useless apparently to you reading this without a break nonstop, wanna play a game outside- oh wait you don't know what the word "outside" means.
Now you thought the waste of time was wrong right? Well sad to say but.. it isn't.. So why are you here? Is there a giant gold medal, perhaps you will get a noble prize for most time wasted? NOPE just wasted life cycle. Now please go... GO PLEASE whatever seems like you don't want to leave.. well this text is almost over meaning you have to in.. 3. 2. 1. HAH GO now

It Was One Time

It Was One time
IWOT

Used when someone did something really disgusting/terrible/outrageous they probably regret, and wish people would stop bringing it up. "It was one time!"

(...But was it really?)
"John! I heard you got so drunk you passed out in a urinal in your own vomit with your pants down!"

"Jeezus Chris. It Was One Time!"

"Hey Carl wasn't it your sister who went code brown on a police car and lit it on fire last summer?"

"C'mon man! Leave it alone. IWOT ."

winter-time

Refers to da extra hours dat you get during da end-of-da-year season for sleeping, hobbies. indoor leisure-activities, etc., due to its often being too chilly and/or dark outside to preform da mundane-drudgery tasks dat you'd otherwise feel obliged to do while da weather was milder and there were more hours of daylight.
Having extra winter-time to relax and recreate is all well and good, but da problem wid dat is dat da tasks dat you would ordinarily have performed during those colder/darker months will still hafta be completed eventually, and so you will therefore have additional arduous/tedious "spring tasks" to grumble/wheeze through come warmer weather.
