And it doesn't have any pejorative terms attached like "dropping acid", "shooting heroin" or even "smoking dope".

Maybe we need to come up with a term that associates "watching" with something bad. In Britain they have the term "glassing", the verb for glass, as in attacking somebody with a broken bottle.

Update: It seems the WH people themselves have worked out a name for this: "a dosage of Fox". Well maybe just "a dose", as in, "a dose of Gonorrhea"
