A: Why is Barbara sitting all alone in the corner? Is she being anti-social today?
B: Nah -- she's plug seeking, and it's the only place she could find an open outlet. Another half-hour and she'll be forcibly powered down. Then you'll see anti-social.

Get the glocalization mug.Describes a twinkish guy with an eating disorder consistent with binging and purging. The fabulous male equivalent of bulemic.
