fauxtention 

"faux" + "attention": pretending to pay attention in class; an offensive tactic during lecture classes when you are using your laptop. Fauxtention involves giving knowing and "interested" nods to your professor to show you're paying attention. But what you're really doing is preempting any suspicion that you are surfing the internet as much as you really are.
Fauxtention earns brownie points.

Fattention seeking 

'Fattention seeking' is an attention seeker on Facebook who posts up a status telling the world how they feel if they are ill, upset, angry or hurt because no one, in the real world really cares about them so they have to post it in hope that someone online would and when someone actually gives a shit, they give a pointless reply and you're like thinking why did they bother posting it up?
