back to lurking 

A sarcastic farewell posted on a bbs or web log indicating the author is returning to a state of inactive observation after surfacing for a brief comment.
I've been reading this thread for days and you guys have no idea what you're talking about.

Back to lurking.

secondhand lurking 

When somebody is at a computer lurking on myspace, you creep up on the person very slowly, and just watch what they are doing. Secondhand lurking is more often then not used by gay emo kids.
Some bitch named beth lurking on myspace, when some gay ass emo kid walked up and started secondhand lurking.

The act of being signed into gmail chat but putting your status to invisible. Lurking involves watching friends sign in and enjoying knowing that they dont know you're there. Having too much time on one's hands is the most common cause of lurking.
Oh my god Daragh you're always lurking whenever i sign in

The act of going to a night club or busy bar and scoping out your prey in the shadows. Then, when they least expect it -or when they are at their highest point of intoxication-, you swoop in and get really fashion friendly. Usually the natural habitat of a lurker is around the dancefloor.
Pitman: What is Bean doing over there in the shadows?
Hunter: Looks like he is lurking again.
Ham: He is scoping out prey to be his next victim...lurking is an artform.
