It was in the news feed 

An excuse you can use after Facebook creeping and getting caught. It always works, though the suspicious individual will likely remain skeptical.
Sarah: "Are you creeping on me? How did you know I commented on that picture?"
Derek: "No, it was in the news feed!"

Sally: "Like OMG he is the best BF ever!"
Jared: "You mean Braun?"
Sally: "How did you know he was my BF?! I haven't changed my relationship status yet!!!!"
Jared: "It's been in the news feed."
Sally: "Sure."

Sally: How? Were you Facebook creeping?
Megan: uhh no, it was on my news feed.

It showed up on my news feed 

What you say when someone accuses you of Facebook stalking. Since it just showed up on your news feed, you couldn't have been secretly reading their profile, right?
Joe: Man, that party last night was sick...

Mike: Oh, that one you went to at 9:23 pm at Bob's house?

Joe: Whoa, how did you know that? You aren't stalking me, are you?

Mike: ...it showed up on my news feed.
