I often just call it ghosting. Or just "Stop looking at my screen".

I don't think I've ever heard it as anything other than screen cheating. Screen hopping sounds like you are switching from screen to screen or something, and screen-looking doesn't have the same easy/lazy to say flow of the consecutive ee sounds. As such, screen peeking/peeping would work, but sounds kind of silly I think. Not that it matters, if someone complains that someone else is "screen-somethinging" on split-screen, everyone will know what they mean.

Back in the day when splitscreen was actually common. me and my mates used to ***** at each other over screen cheating, but since it is pretty much impossible to not glance down/up when unexpected movement catches the corner of your eye we didn't honestly care. Unless someone was blatantly using it constantly, in which case they had to pass the controller on. It can be helpful sometimes though, it has been a lifesaver on occasions where there were two people left walking around a big map fruitlessly trying to find each other for like half a goddamn hour.

Telepathy is what my friends and I call it. As in, "I like the way you just turned around and knifed me there. I didn't know you could do telepathy."

I've just called it cheating. It happens, and during split screening, it's damn near impossible to avoid.

Ok I got into an argument over what the proper terminology for split screen cheating is called. I have always used "screen hopping" and all my friends looked at me like I was crazy, but then again I am crazy...but I digress. They were set on it being called "screen peeking" or even "screen cheating". I'm not saying I'm right and they are wrong, but am curious as to what other people use.

EDIT: i added screen looking to poll. I've heard of this, but just forgot about it
Good, because that is what my brothers and I call it.
