Spylighting 

(Verb) The act of flipping through different sports channels looking for big highlights, usually done out of boredom or because you just don't really care about any of the games. Spylighting can be very successful, however, it can backfire.
"Dude! I was spylighting last night and I saw Ed Reed get a pick six on Fox, then I turned to ESPN and saw a walk-off homer by Big Papi! It was awesome."

"Laurie broke up with me when she found out I was secretly spylighting while we 'talked about our relationship' on the phone."

spotlighting 

Highly Illegal! The act of shining a high powered spotlight into the eyes of an animal (usually deer), causing it to freeze in its tracks. The animal is then ripe for the picking by a hunter with a small, quiet rifle. (like a .22) Obviously done at night, mainly by rednecks from Roseburg, Or. (and Texas, probably.)
My sister wanted to go spotlighting with her friends. It sounded like a euphemism for parking and making out. Turns out she wanted to go look at wolves. Oh well.

Facebook Slighting 

When someone who is supposedly a friend almost immediately deletes any posts by you or gifts from you on Facebook, even if they are private. It indicates that they are only willing to be your friend if nobody else knows.

Spotlighting 

When you have no idea how to use MS Teams and you sign onto a group meeting and you choose the spotlighting option to highlight the hot chick with the huge rack, because that’s who you want to spend the next 45 mins looking at. Not realising you have spotlighted that person to everyone in the meeting.
Hey Paul, if you go spotlighting our external stakeholders again, you won’t be working here anymore.
