Subconscious Attention Seeker 

This term is used to describe a person who instinctively butts into a conversation without real thought and blurs out an obviously untrue response just for attention.
Jamie: "Hey Kieran, sorry to hear about your tongue"

Kieran: "Thanks, there I was skipping along and I just bit my tongue and now it's bleeding."

Robyn: "Hey did you guys say something about a tongue? I once bit my tongue off and it grew back in 2 days!"

Jamie: "Sure it did..."

Kieran: "Oh leave her alone, you know she's a subconscious attention seeker and will say anything to look cool"

Jamie: "Fair play"

Pay Attention to Me Text 

A text message sent to a former lover that may give false hope to the brokenhearted but only serves to boost the heart breaker's fragile ego. Pay Attention to Me Texts often appear casual and benign, such as "Hey, what's up?" However, when properly ignored, they frequently progress to more desperate attempts to be noticed, such as, "I heard our song on the radio today," or "I can't stop thinking about you."

The entire exchange may serve to rebuild the brokenhearted's self-esteem and partially restore the balance of power in a failed relationship, but all is lost the moment he or she responds to the text.
Guy#1: Marlene texted me today to say she misses me. Maybe she wants to get back together?

Guy#2: No way, dude, that's just a Pay Attention to Me Text. Ignore that shit!

In marching band, standing with your feet together, stomach in, chest out, shoulders back, chin up, and eyes with pride. It is very painful after long amounts of time.
After standing at attention for so long, my legs felt like jelly.
