A classic example of a Zyngar™ is in Mafia Wars. If you have adequate Reward Points while working the Robbing Board (which may require thousands of individual clicks), a random pop up appears, precisely where your mouse cursor is, and automatically spends some of those RPs, which you paid for with cash. you do not even have to click on purchase, a mosueover will spend your money, without so much as a confirmation button, which Zynga refuses to provide.
In Texas Hold'em Poker, the Zyngar™ is that they "sting" you with popups every time you win a hand, and the application freezes, every single time, forcing you to lose the hand and possibly getting bumped off the table. It actually turns out that, winning a hand is the Worst Thing that can happen in Texas Hold'em Poker.
