Low-res

From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki

"Low-res" was slang for a person considered to be of lower status than those using it. When Martin McFly Jr. was arrested for robbery of the Hill Valley Payroll Substation, Griff Tannen stated in an interview that McFly was too "low-res" to be associated with them.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Alluding to a computer generation, the term is a shortened form of "low resolution" which usually indicates an image with poor quality. It was later then used as a slang term for someone of that nature.
