One idiom that Hypercard (yup, I'm old...) had that I've not seen replicated on the web: lockscreen. Prevented the screen from updating until you were done with the transition.
What's this? Why it's a mouse-controlled Super Mario Kart clone for Classic Macintosh! At the time of writing there were only 2 google search results and 1 image result for this game. blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/10/31/mou… Another discovery from my collection of Japanese Macintosh magazine CDs
