Flipbook

(Verb) Conststantly getting a frame rate that isn't unplayably low, but low enough to cause considerable skips in video, generally around 10fps. The gap in frames make the game seem as if it were a flipbook, ergo the term.

There was a big fight outside Orgrimmar last night and I really wanted to throw down, but I kept flipbooking and got my ass royally pwnt.

facebook flipbook

As you are stalking your faux friend's new photo album on Facebook, paying close attention, you realize that two pictures in a row look peculiarly similar. So you press the left arrow to look at the first picture again. And then you press the right arrow to look at the second picture again. And then you continue to press left and right again and again so that it looks like your friend is moving. Flipping popcorn in his mouth. Crushing that beer can. Kicking rocks. Alas! Facebook Flipbook.

Dude. Did you catch that Facebook Flipbook of Nick? I kept pressing left and right, and it looked like his pants were disappearing and then reappearing.

Flip-book relationship

The state in which one finds themselves when they begin to have so many one-night-stands or fuck buddies that that these individuals merge into one to resemble a relationship- devoid of real emotion. This is either an intentional way of life (and all power to you if it is) or adversely extremely detrimental to ones self-esteem and perhaps a barrier between you and someone who wants to be with you because, consciously or subconsciously, you define yourself as 'taken'.

So'n'so: Why can't I meet some nice?

Other so'n'so: Because you're in a flip-book relationship
