Taking pictures or recordings of a screen. This result of an image or a video displaying terrible quality of the screen makes it appeared if it was a deep fried meme.
Around 2007 and a little bit earlier, many people would take pictures of their device that had a screen and post it online. Many Let's Plays during this time of YouTube people would get their video camera and recorded gameplay and it was acceptable.
As time went by many programs and features allowed the users to take screenshots and screencasts making practice of using another devices, video & picture cameras and cellphones, obsolete for the most part
However it is still used but is usually done for quick uploads in case whatever they'll capturing might not be available. The latter is acceptable however posting or uploading in a normal condition is not.

Why did you recorded your gameplay with your phone? You know you've could had downloaded a screencasts program, right? It looks so grainy, washed-out, and strangely colored! It's a deep fried screen!

Get the Deep Fried Screenmug. The opportunity to negotiate for extra hours of screen time from parents, akin to spotting parking spaces for a driver. It requires keen observation and timing to seize the moment when parents are less vigilant or distracted.
My little brother has mastered the art of screen time; he knows exactly when Mom is busy and swoops in for an extra hour of gaming on Roblox!

Get the Screen shoppingmug. Refers to the act of glancing at the netting over your window/door to see how many flying bloodsuckers are landed on it before deciding whether or not to venture outside.
You'll want to always give "the great outdoors" a pre-screening before just mindlessly heading out the door, so that you don't get eaten alive once you're out there.

Get the pre-screeningmug. That moment at the end of a movie (Hackers, Anti-Trust, Johnny Mnemonic, or The Running Man) in which the bad guy's evil plans are spilled to the world over one (or several) large screens, often broadcast over a large city block or two.
We were watching a movie about an evil conglomerate when the Big Boss's plans were revealed in a Giant Screen Reveal as he spoke them without realizing they were being broadcast.
