favor-friend

a person who gives you a call or comes to you only when he/she needs a favor and uses the fact that you have a good heart - if he/she doesn't need anything from you, there will be no "how are you?" question or anything, but still this person will pretend that he/she is your great friend;

Bruno: I'm disappointed with my friendship with Alice. I used to believe we were friends, but now I see she's only a favor-friend. It is I who usually starts conversation, who calls, send Christmas wishes, who asks how things are going and so on. She nevers does so. She calls only when she needs something. Sad...

press rifle

(from PR - "public relations" and transformed into "press rifle") public relations practices from press releases that correct unfavorable statements to complex crisis management when PR specialists and managers need to act like a QRF - quick reaction force, not to leave the incident, rumor, claim or charge without comment, especially when the accusations made by the press (or media in general) are aggressive and require adequate response similar to counter-attack with precise and effective hit on the charge, thus similar to using a rifle;

The agency used the best of their press rifle practices to suppress the media chatter and counter the charges against the chairman of the company.

fakebook liker

a fake Facebook profile created to increase the number of likers of a fan-page and interaction on the wall (wall-posting, comments, sharing, liking etc.)

Tom: Wow, you have a nice number of fans on your fan-page.
John: Yeah, right... The truth is that half of them are fakebook likers.
Tom: What?
John: I created fake profiles to boost the number of likers a bit and interaction on the company's Facebook fan-page. I post something and then I log as Tim Doherty, Jen Smith etc. who are not real people, but just fake profiles, the fakebook likers commenting, sharing my post etc. Without them, there wouldn't be any interaction at all.

celebro

a person who hangs out only with celebrities to get profits from the acquaintance;

Jim won't come with us, he doesn't hang out with people like you and me. He won't even look at you unless you were on the cover of a fashion magazine or something. He's a total jerk and a celebro.

mystifixation

an obsessive desire to present even obvious things as mysterious ones and thus making them unclear and hard to understand just to gain attention of the listeners (from mystification + fixation)

I asked Jeremy about his plans for summer holidays, but I got lost after a couple of seconds he started talking, because he made it so confidential and difficult to understand. It's his mystifixation - a desire to make everything, even simple things, look and sound mysterious.
