Liking someones status, not because you actually like it, but because you could tell that the person tried hard to write it and expects people to like it.
Meh, that status is kinda lame, but I could tell that Sally thought it sounded really cool when she wrote it. I'll just pity like it.

When you like someone's status/picture on FaceBook because they're 1) trying too hard, 2) desperate for attention, or 3) just weird and you want to be the one they save when they come to school with a sawed off shotgun.
Person 1: Dude, did you see Kayla's status she posted last night?
Person 2: Yeah, it was so dumb I had to give it a pity like.

The likes given to any status updates by a person from his/her other facebook friends. Same as pity sex, but not.
John's hit an all time record of pity likes for his fb post saying his gf left him for a rubber duck.

Looking at the newsfeed on Facebook and coming accross a status update where the writer is welcoming likes or comments but no-one does. Therefore 'liking' the status, not because you actually like it but more that you sympathise with its creator.
Penelope: "Dude, did you see Karen's last status update on Facebook...?"
Patty: "Yeah it was not funny at all, what was she thinking?"
Penelope "I have no idea, I felt so bad for her though so I pity liked"

When you like a post on Facebook because you feel bad for the person because they are unpopular and no one ever likes or comments their posts.
Person A: Poor Hilda, it's like no one even knows she's there.
Person B: Yeah, I know right? I felt so bad for her I piti-liked a few of her posts.
Person B: Yeah, I know right? I felt so bad for her I piti-liked a few of her posts.

What you do on any social media platform when any post has so many dislikes that you want to give it a like out of pity.
