'A Jayne's reply'

A Jayne's reply

A 'comeback' or retort that is so predictable that the intended recipient is able to preemptively create a facebook group that... um... predicts it.

Can also be used to describe the language 'skills' of facebookers who say things like: ROFL or EPIC FAIL or who use the keyboard to create twee little graphics that depict ladders replete with accompanying cliches.

For instance, a 'Jayne' might actually bother to type a ladder graphic in the absence of something worth saying. Follows it with "Something for the climb down. Careful now."

You say: "Bit of a 'A Jayne's reply'"

reply trap

A trap used on social media to lure people into replying to the post. Usually stating that something has happened to the person posting, but does not state what. This causes curious readers to ask what happened to him/her. These statement are usually exaggerated and are used as a cry for attention.

Person 1: This girl just posted "UGH THE WORST THING JUST HAPPENED I HATE MY LIFE!" on Facebook
Person 2: Such a reply trap

reply them

A non-binary person who acts exactly like a reply guy, but with the addition of using their status as an enby as a cudgel to prevent criticism of their actions as an internet bully.

Jay is such a reply them, they keep coming into my tweet threads and trying to take over the conversation to make an unrelated point.

Bri really needs to stop being such a reply them, or I'm going to block them.

Bullet reply

A bullet reply is basically a reply that you say on social media when you really want to diss someone who said something that irritates you but you don't want to go too over the top so you don't seem too butthurt. The bullet part is an analogy, basically think of how a bullet is small but it can kill someone just fine. That's basically it, you send a reply that's not an over the top insult, but it gets the job done just fine

Person 1: Damn this guy irritated me
Person 2: Did you ignore him?
Person 1: No, it would be best to do so, but I sent him a bullet reply instead
Person 2: Good shit, that'll teach 'em

eyelids-lift reply

Refers to a comparably-humorous but non-verbal version of three consonants and a dozen vowels, and involves using your forefingers or thumbs to manually "peel up" your eyelids and then groggily waggling your head to indicate to the person who requested your assistance that you're so weary that you can't even keep your eyelids open.

Sometimes when I ask my ordinarily-very-supportive sister about helping me with some task that admittedly I **could** perform all by myself but which would be a lot easier and/or more pleasant to accomplish with an assistant, she gives me the "eyelids-lift reply" to indicate that she feels really exhausted on that particular occasion. and so I respectfully "let it go" for the time-being, and then either wheezingly struggle though said arduous/disagreeable undertaking on my own, or wait till maybe the next day to ask my sister again if she could help me complete it.
