     [ "fusillade typer" ]

    1: Someone who annoyingly waits to begin typing until they find all the letters in the word they want to type, then types them in a single, annoying burst. Gives the typer a false feeling of skill; irks observers. Becoming consigned to oblivion as those who can't type are being weeded out with old age.

      * e.g.,  ... Stanly typed out the word 'irritating' so fast that he thought we was impressing everyone around him with his typing speed. In reality, everyone knew he was a fusillade typer and spent 15 seconds looking for the keys before he began typing.
