TMW-AD stands for "That Moment When Advertisement". Can be pronounced as "Tim-wad" This happens when you try to view any webpage and the Ad jumpscares or "TMWAD"s are so invasive that the page has a heart attack, then you start seeing what seems to be the haunted spirits of webpage content that probably should have existed in place of the missing blank ad spaces. TMWAD occurs because of "things I didn't ask to see but this site needs income".
