Tellyflake

Meaning: The random dot pattern of static when no transmission signal is picked up by your television.
Pronunciation: Tell-lee-flake.
Usage: In those zen like moments, watching the tellyflake is as soothing as meditating on an aquarium.
Root: Telly (slang for television) + Flake (the static dots look like snow flakes).
