Anti-Aliasing

n.
curiosity about the real flesh-and-blood people behind internet usernames, whose flamboyant uniqueness suggests that when our parents were searching our nameless faces looking for hints of who we would become, they really should have considered Mr. Cookieface, Unicornpuncher, Dutchess Von Whatever, or Wookiegasm.

In digital graphics, anti-aliasing is a technique to smooth the appearance of jagged pixels in low-resolution images.
