term to describe the Ponzi-like schemes of the cryptocurrency world, especially in terms of bitcoin; gets its name from "bit" as in "digital", and "con" as a twist on "coin", and to describe the type of scheme (so "digital coin" -> "digital con").
Used as an alternative to "Ponzi" because cryptocurrency adherants argue that only fiat currency is used as the ROI for early investors in Ponzi schemes, contrary to the imagined value of cryptocurrencies being used as the ROI in the cryptocurrency world.
"Mark lost all his crypto investments because it was all a Bitcon Scheme."
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.
The short screen format cut off the actors forehead and chin during the closeup.
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...
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
A guessing game on porn video sharing websites, like rule34, where the viewer does not know what they will be watching, due to the thumbnail for the video being a black screen. This goes further into affect when the tags for said video have not been fully completed yet, so the viewer has no idea what the video is about until they play it for themselves.
Guy 1: How’s it going?
Guy 2: Not good I had to ply Black Screen Roulette today.
Guy 1: How’d that go for you?
Guy 2: It was inflation porn.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
