The unique surveillance dynamic of livestreaming platforms (Twitch, YouTube Live, TikTok Live), where creators perform for a live, unseen audience that can clip, screenshot, or report in real time. The Panopticon is intensified by the lack of editing: a single slip of the tongue can be clipped and go viral before the stream ends. Viewers are also watched: chat messages are logged, emotes tracked, and bans issued. The livestream Panopticon produces hyper‑vigilant creators who perform a sanitized self, and viewers who hesitate to type anything that might be used against them later.

Example: “He laughed at a meme during stream, then immediately panicked—the Livestream Panopticon meant that laugh could be clipped, replayed, and misinterpreted by tomorrow’s outrage.”

Livestrem

The act of streaming a video game or something on an online call or chat application (calling someone and playing a video game without streaming is not considered a livestrem)

The origins of the word livestrem date back to the Egyptian times. When somebody would watch someone else do an activity, it was considered a “livestrem”

The word livestream is actually a butchered version of the original word, livestrem

My point being: imma go eat

Person 1: oh shit imma do a livestrem
Person 2: calling someone is not a livestrem dumbass

lamestream

Something that is so mainstream that pretty much everyone likes it and it becomes lame for that reason.

1. Dude, did you listen to Green Day? That's so lamestream.
2. I didn't want to be lamestream so I started listening to screamo.

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
