Guilt Fishing

A manipulative tactic in which a person (typically a straight male) uses guilt tripping and emotional blackmail to attract (or "fish" for) a romantic partner by abusing the potential victim's sense of empathy and making the victim constantly pity the person who is manipulating them. (otherwise known as the "fisher")
Damian: "No one loves me. I'm so lonely because I have no one to hold, please give me a chance or I'll kill myself. #loner #single #depressed"

Hannah: "Stop guilt fishing on Myspace and get professional help."

Junkie Guilt

A Scottish phrase to describe the feeling oneself may experience when getting ‘onnit’ without making any effort with their appearance whatsoever. This implies that getting ‘pished’ is not a special occasion, but in fact an everyday pastime, like it would be for a junkie.
Abigail - “Alright gal, want to get onnit?”
Jennifer - “Nah chick, am wearing joggies n av no got ma face on, al get junkie guilt.”

V6 Guilt

V6 Guilt is the description of the reasons a v6 muscle car owner will give as to why they didn’t get the v8 version of their car
Hey man why didn’t you get a V8?” “Oh I got it because of the better fuel economy, it looks cool and it’s still faster than the 1970s v8s were!”

“Ah so I see you have V6 Guilt”

guilt couture

Clothing that is given as a gift to you as a gift from family. It usually consists of some type of fruity colored sweater, a hand knit accessory, or other item you would never wear. But because you love the person who gives it to you, and you don't want to make them feel bad, you wear it out of guilt.
Kid: Thanks for this bright orange sweater grandma.
Grandma: your welcome sonny, I knit it all myself. How 'bout you try it on for me.
Kid: Sure grandma thanks a bunch.
(later...)
Kids friend: What's up with the gay sweater? it looks like a stylish piece of guilt couture.

guilt-slap

The feeling you get when you ignore a stupid facebook post or share (like/share/ etc. if you're against bullying/abuse/sex/cancer/anything). The feeling remains the same even after you realize that liking a picture doesn't help anything
Annoying Facebook Person: OMG like this post if you're against bullies I know 99% of you won't cuz you're too cool <3

Sane Facebook User: Liking the picture doesn't do anything about bullying, but that damn guilt-slap stings

Snooze Guilt

That horrible feeling of shame and regret that descends upon a person, often who has Snooze Syndrome, when they finally get out of bed following repeated snoozing (usually more than four snoozes). The guilt is typically amplified because it is coming immediately after the wonderful feeling of euphoria from the snoozing itself.
John: Why are you so down?

Jane: I was in bed on my 12th snooze and feeling so nice and snuggly. Then I finally got up and now I am in a bad mood.

John: Sound like you have a bad case of snooze guilt.

Jane: Piss off.
