status stalker

Someone who only reads your facebook status updates or tweets, but doesn't actually reach out and talk to you.

When I met Jimmy in real life, the first thing he mentioned was something I tweeted about. He's such a status stalker, why doesn't he just send me a message or something??

I don't mess with

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.

I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!

I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.

"Are you an atheist?" "Nah, but I was raised a Catholic. I stopped practicing years ago. I guess you could call me an extheist."

social location fraud

Tricking a social location service--like Foursquare, Loopt, or Gowalla--into thinking you're someplace you're not.

Dude, how did this guy become the Mayor of the North Pole?? That's some social location fraud right there.

food-doc diet

An accidental diet that starts after you watch a documentary about food.

Dude, my buddy's on a food-doc diet. He just saw Super Size Me and he hasn't been to McDonald's in a month!

I gave up red meat after watching Food, Inc. I guess I'm on a food-doc diet.

rainbow rolodex

The list of token ethnic contacts that journalists keep just in case they want a racial representative to chime in.

"Hmm, you know, this article on Jersey Shore really needs a quote from a real Italian-American. Darn, I don't have one in my rainbow rolodex."

"Wait, if we're going to do a write-up on a post-racial America, we need to get a quote from a black dude. Check your rainbow rolodex."

holiday friends

friends with whom your entire social interaction is based on seeing them at special occasions.

I don't remember the last time I saw Jessica. I think it was on Fat Tuesday, or wait, was it on Memorial Day? Nah, maybe it was New Years? I'm not sure, maybe all of them, I guess we're holiday friends.
