teletrash

Television programs which target the least educated and the least sophisticated viewers. Such programs always center attention on crude or degrading behavior intended to titillate viewers, participants, or both.

The Maury Povich Show, Fear Factor, The Jerry Springer Show, Married with Children, etc. "What'd you do this weekend?" "Not much. We drank beer and watched a lot of teletrash reruns. You?"

In terms of video games, to telegraph is to give advance notice of. A good example is Punch Out. Most fighters do a small animation that shows they are about to attack.

teletransportation

A method of travel in which one is replicated exactly (atom for atom) from point A and created at point B as a uniform copy.

High levels of technology may be able to use teletransportation to "beam" people off the surface of a planet and into its respective space craft.

telegraphed his punches

almost like winding up for your punch or cocking your arm back; it is a little reflex that shows you are going to punch before you do it. Experienced fighters are usually better at hiding how they are coming at you or not at all. Sometimes if you are quick enough it doesn't matter.

Telewrath

A combination of the words "telepathic" and "wrath" into a cleverly fitting play on "telepath". Telewrath refers to a silent but fervent bitching out of someone that probably doesn't even know you're mad at them. If someone has done something to offend you and you are not willing to invest the time to confront them about it, you are most likely going to do some telewrath- cussing them out, getting in their face, showing them you're really pissed off... but all without actually saying anything to them. It is generally hoped that telewrath will be picked up on and the person at whom the telewrath is directed will, of his or her own initiative, right the wrong they have committed. Unfortunately, it hardly ever works out that way.

Goddamnit, Jason. If you could only feel my telewrath... *scowl*
