Web Proxy 

a website that lets you go on to sites during school where you aren't supposed to be on.

I used a web proxy to go on to myspace during school.

Mobile Proxy Shopping 

The act being seen by others while shopping in a store and talking to the requestor of the item(s) being purchased on your mobile phone to verify the products meet their specifications or to find an alternative item that will.

"Mobile Proxy Shopping was getting me frustrated by having to read the labels of the cereal boxes over the cell phone to my wife just to make sure that I purchased EXACTLY what she wanted, or find something else to meet her needs"

By proxy 

I said by way of transitive property but I meant by proxy.

Hym "Daughter bang by proxy! That's what I meant. You knew what I meant. Daughter bang by proxy. I love it. I love having Manichaean-eqsue proxies running around.... Really, my pride overfloweth. And to see them thrive in the world? The most ennobling experience of my life. Except for that one asshole. Wants to talk about 'unforgivable sin.' STOP TRYING TO IMITATE THE CREATURE!

by proxy 

When there is a causal relationship that can be drawn; a cause and effect. Because of one thing, another thing can be said (to occur) as a byproduct.

Pete likes to go the gym, there is a satisfaction he gains from the difficulty and overcoming the challenge, and from the results he sees afterwards. He is taking care of his body by proxy.

Mutthausen by Proxy 

A behavior in which a dog owner fabricates and exaggerates health or behavior problems by their dog in order to show how much he/she cares for and worries about their pet.

The poor puppy was wearing both a "collar of shame" and a muzzle, definitely a case of Mutthausen by Proxy.

Trevored-by-proxy 

A state of mind that can effect men aged 50+ when bored and sunbathing. Symptoms can have you instinctively messaging societies back home about playing golf on your return. Easily remedied by removing yourself from the sun and taking a very cold shower. Repeat until the thought of reaching back out passes...and focus more on relaxing with your partner on holiday.

You're deluded, you're clearly suffering with Trevored-by-Proxy as you can't come away without thinking about your flippin' golf!

Mercury Retrograde by Proxy 

When you are not affected by Mercury retrograde yourself... but everyone around is. Hence you end up suffering during a Mercury Retrograde nevertheless, by having to put up with everyone else's drama.

Later that morning : work continued awfully and threatened to spoil my day. Despite me being fastidiously careful, people tried to blame me for things which went wrong anyway. In other words, I had managed to transcend the effects of the Mercury Retrograde today, but my managers and co-workers had not, so I had to deal with their bullshit, nonetheless. In effect, I suffered from Mercury Retrograde by Proxy.
