Shame-liking

The act of going on to LinkedIn to debase yourself by “liking” posts from your superiors solely for purposes of professional advancement.

Person A: I have an opinion on a subject in which I am not an expert because of the things I have Googled...
Person B: Google isn't a fuckin degree, yo! Your hardly an expert!
Person A: Duh, get outta here with your Google Shaming. I can still be an educated, multi-faceted person who can form an opinion, yo.
Person B: Why don't you kill yourself and leave the opinions to the people who actually do this.
Person A: fuckin internet comments. *sigh*
