A slang term for extra (hours of recreational) screen time that seniors can easily have as a form of self-reward; whilst children, teenagers, and younger adults are subject to more stringent behavior requirements to obtain the same duration of extra screen time due to the presence of third-party authority (parents, teachers, institutions, and employers)
It's wild how my grandparents can rack up hours of screen time as some kind of old people's self-reward, while I have to jump through hoops just to watch an extra episode!
