New Friend Request 

The one thing middle school girls pray for at night.

A great way to make someone feel like they actually have friends.

A phrase which often causes the elderly to become baffled, then irritated, and then baffled again. Frequently accompanied by a facial expression which illustrates confusion.

The downfall of the technological revolution in one term.

The name of a song by the band Evergreen Terrace.
Suzie: "I cant wait any longer to check my myspace page!"

Bystander 1: "Why do you think that girl is running frantically into the library?"

Bystander 2: "I have an idea."

Bystander 1: "Yeah, she must be anxious to check her Myspace for New Friend Requests."

Facebook Friend Request Purgatory 

the act of neither confirming nor ignoring friend requests of those that I full well know and remember, but who have thrown me even the SLIGHTEST bit of shade in the past. I instead leave them to linger for days, weeks and sometimes a full month in 'friend request purgatory'--for punishment... and purification--before finally accepting their requests and welcoming them into "heaven" (i.e. my friend list)
Did your ex boyfriend friend request you? He's on Facebook now.

Yes girl, I have him locked away in Facebook friend request purgatory, to give him time to think about his choices and hopefully make better ones in the future.

post-acquaintance friend request 

The friend request sent right after meeting someone for the first time.
After meeting Ryan at the party, Dave sent him a post-acquaintance friend request to secure their friendship.

friend request 

My space term.

When someone want's to become your myspace "friend", they have the ability to comment your profile and pictures, and send you private messages.

All hardcore, scene, and emo kids have a myspace.
Jane looks at John's myspace and decides he's hot. or, hawt l0lz so hardcore!

Jane presses the friend request button, asking John to become her friend.

John then see's the friend request when he logs on. He has the ability to choose whether he want's Jane to be his friend or not. He clicks Decline because Jane isn't scene enough!

See Jane cry. =[

Friend Request Waiting Period

The time after someone requests to be your friend on Facebook or some other social media site. This is a lag period in which the invitee receives the offer, contemplates, evaluates the person's looks, number of mutual friends, other hot friends, and general demeanor before accepting the request. This period is very similar to the "two day rule" when getting someone's digits. By stretching the friend request waiting period ever so slightly, it appears that you are not so desperate for a new friend addition.
Guy 1: "Yo I just became friends with this smoking hot chick other day. You should add her and look at her photos."

Guy 2: "Already tried to add her after I saw you became friends with her. She hasn't accepted my request yet."

Guy 1: "Damn. You must be in the friend request waiting period.... good luck with all that."

Facebook Friend Request Binge and Purge 

Facebook Friend Binge: The act of sending many requests, at one time, to be friends with random individuals on facebook; adding people you wish to creep or learn more on.

Facebook Friend Purge: The act of deleting friends off of your friend list due to their incessant status' or knowing you will never see nor speak to the person ever again.
Ex. 1 Sarah: "Did you hear that Carolyn had a facebook friend purge recently?"

Eva: "Should I feel honored that I'm still on her list?"

Ex. 2 Chris: "I'm not proud; I facebook friend request binged last night."

Carolyn: "That's alright, at least they aren't calories. Facebook Friend Request Binge and Purge(s) happen to the best of us."
