Making posts on social media that either

1. Give off a vague feeling of sadness or other emotional issues to prompt others into asking what's wrong and generally shower said poster with attention

2. Talk smack about someone without mentioning them
Two kinds of vagueposting you've probably seen before

1 .Person 1:"Just when you think you know people..."

Person 2: "Awwww is everything alright?"

Person 1: "I don't wanna talk about it"

2. Person: "Yeah you may have my man now but at least I didn't win him over with nudes lol bye bitch "

Everyone else reading the post: *thinking* We all know who you're talking about, girl

Half smiling and blowing air sharply out of the nose, usually brought on by a semi-funny yet very dumb text post on the microblogging website tumblr, or a situation that's ironically funny.
Person 1: *picks up donut* Look, I'm like one of the cops!

Two police officers look over at Person 1

Person 2: *blows air out of nose with a half smile*

Person 1: Oh stop tumblr laughing at me, will ya?

The time period from late October to late March where it becomes mostly socially acceptable to become a total shut in and do nothing due to the shittiness of the weather outside.
As the beginning of April approaches, thousands of awkward teenagers and young adults groan in despair as shut in season ends and they no longer have an excuse to binge watch shows on Netflix and spend hours on urban dictionary.

The (typically online) practice of preaching for equality for people of all religions, races, genders, and sexual orientations. When done right, this can be a fantastic thing. Unfortunately, social justice tends to be done wrong, giving things like the gender equality movement and the gay rights movement a bad name.
Good social justice: Equality for everyone regardless of your background!
Bad social justice: I F YOU AR E A STRAIGHT WHITE MAN K I L L Y O U R S E L F

Kaitlyn and its various spellings, including but not limited to: Kaitlin, Caitlyn, Katelyn, Katelynn, Caitlin, Keightlinne, and KVIIIlyn, are to Millenials/Gen Z what Karen is to Gen X. She is entitled and expects everyone to like her without giving anything in return, often has a grating personality and is usually doted on very heavily by her rich parents. She manipulates and throws temper tantrums instead of actually trying to reason or accept things like a rational human being. Likely acts the way she does due to her upbringing, as her mother is very likely a Karen and her father is very likely rich. Most of her friends either hang out with her because she’s rich or because they know if they stop hanging out with her she’ll throw a fit and make attempts to ruin their lives for it.
Kaitlyn: I can’t believe Rebecca doesn’t want to drive me to and from school anymore!! All I ask is for her to go out of her way for me twice a day, be willing to go to whatever fast food place I’m hungry for, and let me play my music all while I judge her taste in music and the condition of her car! Isn’t that what friends are for?!

Named for Norman Bates, the mentally unstable antagonist of the film Psycho, a Bates is a person who never threatens anyone's life directly, but very obviously gives off the "I'm going to kill you in your sleep and roll around in your blood giggling like a schoolgirl" vibe. A Bates is almost always completely oblivious to the fact that they're a Bates. Also usually very poor at reading hints to leave others alone.
Janet: You know that kid John? He's a total Bates.

Brad: You can say that again, he keeps looking at me like he wants to cut out my liver and eat it raw.

Someone who is easily tricked or manipulated (or rather, played) by others. Usually too nice for their own good. Derived from the phrase "playing someone like a fiddle"
That guy is such a fiddle, next thing you know everyone will be taking advantage of him.
