Word of the Day: chyron

chy·ron
/'kīrän/
noun trademark
an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or movie screen


AKA, that stupid thing that pops up on your screen blocking the closed captioning or some other part of the show you're trying to watch. Also, the Fox Cleatus football robot that dances in the corner of your screen during a football game, and other things. Also, sometimes the best part of CNN, because they like their pundits, and they love their puns. (Can someone get Putin to the top of a Ritz hotel, and not just riding on a cracker, please? You can never unsee this, and don't say I didn't warn you)
