posting
Twitter slang (usually used as a backhanded compliment) for the act of almost reflexively or unconsciously writing tweets off the cuff that purely reflect the writer’s id or base instincts and as such are unintentionally funny to observers.

above Reddit's paygrade
Term used on advice subreddits to indicate that the OP's issue is something that Reddit is wholly unsuited for resolution of and that should really be referred to a lawyer or a therapist.
"The trauma caused by you walking in on your wife getting throat-fucked by a circus clown is really above Reddit's paygrade. You should see a therapist."

cunt chicken
In politics, the game of espousing good, popular policies with the express intention of getting your opponents to reflexively oppose them and therefore look stupid. Particularly used on left Twitter with reference to Jeremy Corbyn, who was the pioneer and master of the game during the 2017 UK general election.
"Corbyn's just playing a game of cunt chicken now to see what the soundest policy is he can come out with that pricks will still say is shit." - first usage from t_manning92 on Twitter

bluetick
Slang term for someone who is "verified" on Twitter, derived from the blue bubble with a tick in it that appears next to their name. Usually used in a derisive sense, particularly with reference to journalists, as "bluetick" journalists will often exist in the same small network and therefore become susceptible to groupthink.
"Some bluetick QTed me the other day to tell me my opinions were bad, my mentions were a mess for a week."
