I never heard that until recently. It's kinda irritating.

In this post, it was meant sarcastically (obviously).

I believe a teaser is a hint of what might occur in the next movie (like when a character in the movie "Blow Shit Up III" says something like "Should we deploy the Omega Machine, General?" and the General responds with, "No, it's not ready... not this time, Colonel Striker." You can be your sweet bippy the Omega Machine will be a big ass McGuffin in "Blow Shit Up IV"
