'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'"

Charity Replies

When on an online dating site or app, Charity Replies are when you start chatting with someone who otherwise does not find you attractive, but for some reason continues to reply feeling some sort of obligation. This usually results in ghosting or the friendly fade.
I was talking to this guy on POF. He obviously had no interest in me and was just giving me charity replies cause they were always just one word answers and he wouldn't reply for hours at a time. I can see when he's been online! Then one day he just kind of vanished...

Bro: Honestly she’s just selective replying at this point.

Reply Stutter

To wait at least a minute before giving a minimal response to a message in order to discourage conversation. Used to avoid the guilt of completely ignoring a person.
Man 1 (9:00): Sup?
Man 2 (9:08): Sitting around.
Man 1 (9:08): Same here.
Man 1 logged off (9:12)

Man 2 thinking: thank god that reply stutter worked so quickly
