To "like" a friend's status update or video/picture upload on facebook not because you actually like it, but because you feel sorry that no one has commented or liked it after a long time has passed.
Facebook User#1- Did you see that gross new picture of Christina in a bathing suit she added on facebook last week? She has really let herself go!

Facebook User#2- Yeah I can't believe she uploaded that for the world to see! But shes a nice girl so I sympathy liked it.
