"Driveby" (or drive-by) in internet slang refers to a quick, sudden, and often unexpected action or comment made while "passing through" a digital space. In gaming, it specifically describes attacking or interacting with something while moving quickly past it, often on a mount or in a vehicle. It can also refer to a "drive-by comment," where a user leaves a sharp or witty remark on a post and then leaves without engaging further. The term evokes a sense of speed, efficiency, and sometimes a humorous lack of commitment to the interaction.
