Focusing all of one's attention and energy on a specific person whenever they're around, typically done in large groups especially on the internet/social media but also in real life. The orbiter(s) likely have different reasons for orbiting, usually to gain something. May also include shifting their personal beliefs and opinions to match the person being orbited, and constantly praising them or doing their best not to anger.
Ex. 1
Guy 1: Did you see Sarah's newest selfie on Instagram?
Guy 2: Yeah, it got tons of likes so fast. Everyone's kissing up to her in the comments too.
Guy 1: Yeah. I like her pink hair though.
Guy 2: I thought you didn't like dyed hair?
Guy 1: I don't, but it looks good on her. I mentioned it in my DM to her.
Guy 2: I never thought you would orbit her too.

Ex 2:
Guy 1: You ever notice how a group of people always forms around Derek? Everyone tries to sit next to him at lunch, or in class.
Guy 2: That's what happens when you're popular. People will orbit you, and sometimes you get popular just by hanging with them, especially if they like you.
Guy 1: Kinda sucks that Mike, Joey, and Ashley stopped sitting with us though.
Guy 2: They'll be back when Derek is absent or something.

To be orbited, I.E owned, an Orbited is far worse than an Owned, an Orbited is three times the humiliation of Owned.
Orbiting comes from a Canibus-central.com/forum
User who has been owned so many times, thus " owned " isnt a strong enough word for it. He has risen the bar in online humiliaion.
Chris Brown whent to visit his girl, and saw four dudes walking out her side door barely dressed, he was Orbited once again.

Orbiting is when the person who ghosted you , continues to linger in your life by watching every single one of Instagram stories and liking/commenting on your social media posts.

nuclear-powered chewing gum that initially releases a blast of minty freshness into your mouth upon insertion. some people's mouths are not equipped to handle such intense minty freshness and thus tear up a bit. while chewing orbit, those around you will experience a clearing of the nasal passages.
i was chewing orbit, and my mouth felt alive.
