Annoying blue box appears

It is annoying when I read something in Safari, that a blue box appears when I touch a paragraph to scroll down. Apple will prompt me to either copy or define. I do not want to either. How do I turn off this "feature"?

iPad 2, iOS 8.3, null

If you press and hold on an area of text in Safari then it assumes that you are wanting to select and copy a section of the page or look up a definition, you can't turn that off. If you don't hold the screen as long and just scroll up/down the options shouldn't popup
