'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...

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

Acceptable Reply

A response to your message that is actually relatively decent and not just k, or lol, these things can be sent but must be followed with a contribution to your statement.

"I love you" is an acceptable reply for a significant other
"Lol. I love your meme"
"K, but what about (blank)?"

Ghost reply

When you type a reply to someone then forget to hit send yet still think you sent the message, or reply in your head while being unaware of the fact you DIDN’T actually reply

I was wondering why I wasn’t getting a response back until I realized I had done a ghost reply
