Third-Reading

Just another bu**s**t compulsory activity (like in-depth studying of history or science or chemistry) in school dat usually just wastes your time/energy/patience and very seldom has any use in future life or employment.

I imagine that "required reading" has often significantly contributed to childhood dissatisfaction and lack of bonding among siblings, since many a youngster has had to sadly play by himself because Big Bro/Sis had to study books instead of paying attention to said toddler.

Look behind you :)

I know you're reading this. The knowing of being watched.

Past tense of Slide Reading

When someone slides their screen on Snapchat just enough to read a person's message. This allows the message to stay on "delivered" instead of "opened". This is usually done when ignoring a person but you low key care what they had to say.

Friend: Are you texting your man again?
You: Yea but he keeps leaving me on delivered.
Friend: Damn he probably sled read your ass.
