sprinted

When a cell carrier holds your phone hostage because of a "Financial Eligibility Check" under the guise of "protecting" you, in case your phone was stolen. This makes it impossible to bring your phone to a new carrier until you pay off any outstanding charges. This brings you into a cycle of owing them into perpetuity if you wish to port your phone number AND device. If you buy a new phone, you lose the number. If you port the number, you can't use the phone for at least 30 days, even if there's no outstanding balances.

Yo, I ported my cell number, but the new carrier says I can't use my phone because of a Financial Eligibility Check. WTF?

Sucks.

What'll I do now?

Buy a new phone. You got sprinted, brah.

Sprinted

The act of a business terminating service to a customer, unlike traditional service terminations for non-payment, being Sprinted usually is more due to a customer being high maintenance and/or expectation.

He just got sprinted by his bank since he protested the monthly fees in his account a few months in a row.

the mind sprinted

An expression to use after a hard dawning you've had.

Often takes this formula:
"phrase dawned on me so hard,the mind sprinted."

"The fact that WWE is scripted dawned on me so hard,the mind sprinted."
"The way she balanced on those thin blocks dawned on me so hard,the mind sprinted."

sprinter shuffle

Designed for sprinters to feign as if they are really working during a long run or warm-up laps, but in reality are just moving their arms in perfect sprinter form, and are moving at an extremely slow pace (an easy jog). When seen from a distance, a coach will be very proud of his sprinters. This saves energy and is characteristic of all sprinters once they get smart enough to utilize this tool.

Freshman: Phew, warm-up laps suck.
Sprint Captain: You actually ran that? Fail. Learn the sprinter shuffle.
