Wallpaper View

If something just looks too good that it seems to be unreal. Think of those common wallpapers on your desktop. The ones with palms, beaches and beautiful landscapes, or of those skylines etc.

*Dan is posting a picture of a beautiful lonely island (where he actually is)*
John: are you kidding me? this looks sooo awesome!
Dan: i know, right? when i arrived there i was unable to move because of that WALLPAPER VIEW! it just looked to good to be true.

A View Whore is one who, when posting a video, often:

Puts pornographic terms in the "tags" box.

Fakes a new product.

Uses a title that has nothing to do with the video or is very misleading.

passive viewing

Passive viewing, watching TV programme or parts thereof, not of your choice to which you've been "exposed."

It is passive viewing if you are watching a television programme you don't particularly want to see, either because you've caught a part of it while changing channels, or by selecting the wrong channel.
Suffering a programme because you are in the company of someone who wants to watch it is passive viewing.

poverty with a view

Term used to describe life in Bend, Oregon or Central Oregon in general. Refers to numerous nearby mountain peaks, rivers, forests, clean air, and microbreweries, with the understanding that everyone will work for close to minimum wage ($7.50/hr) regardless of level of education due to a dysfunctional job market.

Honey, did you see the place for sale down the street? It's a run-down double-wide on a flat one acre lot. Includes monster truck. Wow, that's what I call "poverty with a view".

Convulsive Viewing

Unlike compulsive viewing, this is a TV program or series that causes convulsions of the stomach, or full body. This could be a food program that has gone horrendously wrong, or any form of epilepsy-inducing imagery.

Mr A: "Did you catch that Japanese flashing robot cartoon cookery show last night?"
Dr B: "Yes, but sadly it gave me seizures and the food made me vomit... That's what I call convulsive viewing."
