thumbmail 

thumb·mail
n.
An e-mail made short, and thereby subject to misinterpretation, by virtue of the fact that it was composed 'by thumb' on a BlackBerry or similar device.
Sending: On Concall, we're out.

When you mean: I'm on the conference call with GE right now - they've decided to go with another vendor based on the proof of technology demonstration from the competition.

thumbnailed 

When someone looks good in a thumbnail picture, and you click on it only to find out they don't look nearly as good in the full picture, you've just been thumbnailed.
"Ooh, she looks hot."
*click*
"Dammit! Thumbnailed again!"

I thought the girl who sent me a friend request was hot, but it turned out to be a case of Thumbnail Syndrome.

Thumbnail Hot

When someone looks like they might be attractive in their Facebook or Twitter thumbnail until you click on it and find out that they're really not.
"Yeah, at first I thought he was really hot but turns out he was only thumbnail hot."
