Social Security 

Originally created to help the unfortunate during the Great Depression, it turned into a multi-billion dollar ponzi scheme that will never be voluntarily abolished due to the lobbying power of the AARP and the fact that old people vote more. Social security takes a little over 20% of total expenditures, and the privileged gerontocrats that lived long enough to receive it get three times the amount they paid in the first year of receiving benefits. Most Gen Xers and Millennials will never see a penny of the FICA money they paid in because economists estimate the money from social security will run out by 2030.
Guy 1: "Man, I'll never see a penny of social security money."
Guy 2: "That's because teabagger baby boomers are going to suck off all your hard earned dollars while simultaneously asserting that socialist programs need to stop."

4) Sometimes wears your clothes out;

5) Naturally offends tastes;

6) Thinks they're a social butterfly.
"Dude, I've made a huge mistake. My new girlfriend is a real social moth... Got any advice on dumping her gently?"

social media laundering 

The act of getting another person to post a potentially controversial comment on social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Google+, Twitter etc.) because of a concern that the post will offend ones friends and/or reflect poorly on oneself.
John, who was a liberal (and kind of a pussy), and had a lot of conservative friends, decided to do some social media laundering when posting his views on social issues.

social media 

participatory online media that utilizes the group to write and direct content, rather than a read-only media. Allows for direct contact between participants.
Listservs were early examples of social media and are still used by millions, but more rapid response forms like Twitter and Second Life have become popular as laptops have gotten cheaper.
