Rapid stop and go typing that one does when instant messaging. Can be identified by the tell tale sounds of:
tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
and so on...
Named because it sounds like and has a similar rhythm to firing an automatic weapon. Usually not that annoying, but can be incredibly irritating when done by that lazy co-worker always slacking off at work or that college roommate that IMs until 5am every night.
Also known simply as "machine gunning".

Coworker 1: "Can you assist us with this project? We need everybody's help, because there's a ton of work."
Coworker 2: "I'm really busy right now. Kind of overwhelmed."
Coworker 3: "Bullshit! All you're doing is IMing your friends. It's pretty damn obvious by your constant machine gunning. Now do your frikkin' job."
I really needed to crash because I had the spins from partying too hard, but I was kept up all night by my herb of a roommate machine gun typing to girls he'll probably never meet in real life.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...
