Rfv-sense:

A person belonging to the first generational cohort of digital natives, Generation X.

Tagged by an IP, but not listed- but only because the IP beat me to it (having to sleep can be real inconvenient, sometimes...).

First of all, why would this have -ee instead of -ie? Secondly, I'm not sure that using devices with screens is really a trait people would associate with Generation X in particular. More importantly, all the hits on Google Books and Google Groups are for the sense referring to someone who has been screened. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:50, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

I didn't see even one hit in google books for this meaning, and couldn't find even one bit of information confirming it in the whole internet. I even found that somebody uses screenees instead of screenshot, but not the one in question. The onus of proof in such case should be on the submitter, so I suggest to delete the meaning. 73.71.174.75 18:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Screenshots are screenies, so that would just be a misspelling. Equinox ◑ 11:33, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

-ee has a fairly nebulous meaning by now (standee isn't a person you stand on). But yeah. Seems very doubtful. Equinox ◑ 03:52, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
