Referring to a movie screen format which the top and bottom of the screen is cut off.During filming the round camera lens top and bottom is closed in to produce a short picture.This is mistakenly named widescreen since the screen is no wider than usual only shorter.

Screen condom

People who keep a plastic screen sheath on their smartphone for protection despite the fact that it reduces the quality of their visual pleasure.

I can't understand people who use screen condoms, they never get to fully enjoy their screens. Even without protection, by the time the glass would be so unclear you'd most likely would be getting a new phone anyway...

screen-elder

An elderly version of the screen-ager. An adult who spends an excessive amount of time on their personal electronic device, usually on social media, rudely ignoring the people around them, and oblivious to their immediate surroundings.

Husband to wife:
Honey, please get off instagram. We're at dinner with friends. That's rude. You're such a screen-elder
