vague date 

A phrase coined by Teresa Strasser of the Adam Carolla Show on Free FM which refers to social outings that would normally be considered dates, but where one of the two people involved seems completely oblivious to the concept of dating. This is generally characterized by a lack of interest in conversation or flirting, an aimless absence of direction or goals for the evening, and possibly an uncomfortable revelation that the event was never intended to be date. This can be blamed on the modern tendency for self-absorption and a narcissistic belief that you shouldn't have to put forth any effort to be interesting or even pleasant.
I ended up going on a vague date with Jim. We went and saw a stupid buddy comedy and ate at Starbucks, but he split when he got a phone call from a friend to play basketball.

I don't even know if the date I was on with Nancy was a date, because she kept talking to me about how great it was to be single. I think it was some weird vague date.

Vague Post 

A post on social media that contains no context and remains unclear and confusing to most if not all of the readers. The OP (Original Poster) usually makes a Vague Post to gain attention by having people comment below to ask what the post is about. Vague Posts are usually best ignored. If you can't let it go, comment with "That's a vague post" and link to its definition on Urban Dictionary.
YOUR VAGUE POST FRIEND POSTS: "Well, I'm not doing THAT again."

YOU COMMENT: "Not doing *what* again?"
SOMEONE ELSE COMMENTS: "Are you okay?"
ANOTHER PERSON COMMENTS: "What happened?"
YOUR VAGUE POST FRIEND REPLIES HOURS LATER: "Ugh, it's not even worth getting into."

Vaguebooking 

When one has feelings to share and takes to Facebook to do so. Instead of writing out what one actually needs to say, they write something cryptic that prompts others to ask "what's wrong." This is usually when the Vaguebooker replies with another Vaguebook reply such as "DM me" or "don't feel like talking about it." This will then prompt the inquirer to not give a shit.
Kelly had a bad week, so she took to Facebook to do some vaguebooking. "Really wish things turned out differently."
