scarecase

A rendering technique for words or phrases that alternates upper- and lowercase letters to create ironic distance between the author and subject, to mock/criticize the subject, or for an otherwise similar satirical effect. Often used to mock common or overused phrases, especially ones the author disagrees with. Named party as a variation on "scare quotes," and for its similarity to staircase, due to the sometimes stair step quality created visually. Note that it doesn't have to be strictly one case followed the other; the most important thing is that it creates a distorted, jarring visual to critically highlight what is being typed.

The following sentence uses scarecase to emphasize how silly the author thinks the phrase is: "I agree with all of that candidate's policies, but I won't vote for him because, for reasons I refuse to explain, hE mAkEs mY sKiN cRaWL!!!!!!!!!!"

SCOREcast

A rare but factual account, written or aural, of all of the BS and crap you have to go through to work as a film composer or in the film music business, combined with real-life tales of all of the possible success, joy, and fulfillment that can be wrung out of it if you hang in long enough.

I'm just now getting around to reading the SCOREcast about the 10 best studio work habits. Turns out the first one is "Don't procrastinate, loserface!"

scareware

Scareware: Using popular and mis-spelled search terms, the criminals divert people to sites that are seeded with fake warnings about virus infections. The pop-up warnings claim that a visitor's PC is riddled with malicious programs, virusses and spyware. In turn visitors are duped into buying fake removal software.

Scareware peddlers are misleading people with false evidence that their machine is infected with viruses and are encouraging them to download and buy software that basically does nothing.
