(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."
