Interestingly, when it happens, the aggressor has no power over the target of the aggression or there is no intention to cause harm or distress to the target of the aggression, which possibly explains the frequently heard advice “Don’t tweet when you’re pissed.”
In some cases, however, cyber aggression is rather more sinister, when an individual used an online relationship to deliberately intimidate, emotionally harm, manipulate or exercise power over another person when online.

Cyber aggression is becoming more frequent as more people go online, could this be another form of culture clash, or is it just because some people are nasty, shitty bastards?

Get the Cyber Aggressionmug. It’s an acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. It goes back to the early silent movies where melodrama was the order of the day and the back of the hand on the forehead was used to indicate distress. Now, however, it is applied to those people, male or female, who are complete drama queens and who treat a small setback or minor difficulty as if it was the end of the world. In short, it is the epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.
That wanker is having a BOHOF moment because the canteen ran out of chocolate donuts.

It means boasting about yourself and your abilities, telling everyone how wonderful you are, broadcasting copious quantities of bullshit thickly overlaid with FIGJAM. Normal people exposed to the effects of some self-aggrandising nonentity usually experience attacks of acute nausea followed by the need to get as far away as possible from the source irritation.

It’s pronounced nju mə(ʊ)nəʊˌʌltrəˌmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ˈskɒpɪkˌsɪlɪkəʊvɒlˌkeɪnəʊˌkəʊnɪˈəʊsɪs not that that is any great help but, at 45 letters, it is at the time of writing, the longest word to be found in an English dictionary. As for what it is, it’s a lung disease caused by inhaling dust and ash from volcanoes, so it’s a variant of silicosis and pneumoconiosis. It is said to be a made-up word intended simply to be the longest word in the English language, but it isn’t, that title goes to the chemical name for Titin which is a type of protein. In English this word has 189,819 letters and would take three-and-a-half hours to pronounce.
If you thought Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was bad, let’s see you pronounce the chemical name of titin.

Get the Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosismug. British Army acronym describing urban warfare, it stands for Fighting In Someone's House & Causing Havoc In People's Streets. It probably comes from some squaddie saying that urban warfare was fighting in someone’s house, another realised that it spelled “FISH”. The logical thing, given the British soldiers’ sense of humour would be to add “& CHIPS” and find something appropriate to match the letters. Strictly speaking that makes it a bacronym, but a remarkably appropriate one for all that.

If you do something merely to get it over and done with then that is perfunctory. If it’s something you’ve done that you don’t give a shit about then that’s perfunctory. Indifferent, apathetic, perfunctory, three ways of saying the same thing.
A lick and a promise is a perfunctory wash.
