Second Screen 

Any device with a screen other than that of a television set.

Origin: The Television was the first, widely adapted technological advancement that allowed users to ignore human interaction by offering visual and audible stimulation. Secondary devices such as computers, handhelds and cellphones have become a means of distraction in this new technological age and are constantly evolving to offer more time wasting and socially hermitting features.
If you don't get off the internet now, I will lock up the power cords and batteries to all the second screens in the house. That means-No Computer, No Ipod, No Cellphone, No gameboy, No portable dvd player, No PSP, No graphing calculator, not even allowed to have your e-reader.

During the Zoom staff meeting, Mollie second screened and caught up on her emails.

Daniel was obviously second screening during the meeting; he was tweeting at the same time.

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".
A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.
