scoreboard
The term refers to a physical object in sports, typically associated with high visibility and real-time updates. In this literal sense, it is a neutral, descriptive noun used in athletic contexts to denote the official record of a game.
When used metaphorically, the word takes on a more psychological or interpersonal tone. It describes a tendency to track grievances or achievements within a relationship, often implying a sense of competitiveness, resentment, or a lack of forgiveness. In this context, "keeping score" is the primary action associated with the mental scoreboard.
