musical attention defficit disorder

People with a musical attention defficit disorder have a tendency to switch every (or almost every) song they listen to midway through (if not before that).

Also abreviated to M.A.D.D.
I'd swear that John has a Musical Attention Defficit Disorder. When I was listening to his MP3 with him earlier, he couldn't stop song skipping! It drove me nuts!

Facebook Attention Whore 

Similar to a normal attention whore, but one who uses Facebook or other social media to satisfy their craving for attention.

Often posts statuses that they are upset, angry, or self-deprecating statuses in a desperate bid for pity comments and attention. However, such comments are usually only received by fellow attention whores.
Facebook attention whore 1's status: "OMG terrible day :( dont text phones off."

Facebook attention whore 2's comment: "Oh no :/ text me now!!!"

Everyone else: Shut up, no one cares.

Sanctimonious Attention Whore 

Someone, usually female, who not only wants to be the center of attention, but who specifically seeks highly visible opportunities to act self-righteous at the expense of others, in order to receive temporary affections from cohorts, so as to validate their own fragile sense of self-worth. Also known as S.A.W.

A group of Sanctimonious Attention Whores is called a "Squabble". A male courtier, or loud-mouthed defendent/apologist, of a Sanctimonious Attention Whore is called a "SAW John" or "Squawker".
Political pundit, Ann Coulter, is a sanctimonious attention whore. Media host, Bill O'Reilly, when he defends Ann Coulter, is a SAW-John.

Just trying to see if you were paying attention 

Normally used by teachers to cover up when they make an idiotic mistake. By saying "Just trying to see if you were paying attention" teachers can make it seem like they meant to make their dumb mistake, when really they're just stupid...
Teacher: "On the test, we had over 5 FLAIRURES"

Student: "Don't you mean failures?"

Teacher: "NO, i was just trying to see if you were paying attention"

Student: "ah, of course"
