"Social Libertarianism stresses that it's believers should think that they are the best thing to happen to the world since sliced bread. It sucks that my girlfriend is a social libertarian, oh well, at least she is only a practice girlfriend."

Someone who claims to be a libertarian but believes that all manner of silly left-wing statist beliefs are an integral part of libertarianism.
Some bleeding-heart libertarian told me that "slut shaming" was the equivalent of going on a killing spree in a shopping mall and that I needed to "check my privilege."

A revisionist and oxymoronic socialist trend that seeks to replace various socialist principles, such as planned economy and illegalization of hate speech with what's essentially libertarian social democracy that does very little to alleviate the basic problems with capitalism and typically continues to place the means of production and land in the hands of private owners.

A dilettante who is interested in libertarianism, but would more often than not break with the philosophy, politics, and economics of libertarianism for supposed compassionate reasoning ; that comes from an opposing camp. They're a believer in the political doctrine that is libertarianism which emphasizes individual liberty and a lack of governmental regulation, intervention, and oversight both in matters of the economy and in personal behavior where no one’s rights are being violated or threatened. Yet they are quick to cede their beliefs to appease opposing camps or to maintain supposed good optics.
This compassionate quasi-libertarian is oft associated with girouettism The practice of frequently altering one's views and opinions to follow current trends, bandwagonism The tendency to jump on the bandwagon, i.e. to join a craze or trend, sometimes for profit, or with someone who is dangerously softhearted or affrighted to argue into the weeds about into the trade offs, consequentialism, rule utilitarianism, etc.

The compassionate quasi-libertarian was scared to mention the third variable effect where this "Z" that wasn't mentioned in the study the debaters were discussing was more likely to influence "A" rather than "B" that was mentioned in the study, but the compassionate qusai-libertarian was scarred that he'd be accused of not wanting to help "A"; albeit, in his heart he believes that intervening with "B" wouldn't help "A" and if only the got around to intervening with "Z" instead of "B" than everything would be swell.

One who believes that certain values typically associated with the far left, such as environmental sustainability and animal rights, are fully compatible with (or even a natural extension of) their libertarian values. Essentially, one who believes in compassion but doesn't believe that robbing Peter to pay Paul (i.e. government appropriation of our income) is the least bit compassionate.
A: You're a vegan? I thought you were just one of those nutjobs that believed we should eliminate the Federal Reserve and legalize heroin.
B: You know me, bleeding-heart libertarian.
