reaction status

A reaction status is a Facebook status posted purely because the person posting it is aware that it will have a reaction (a large number of comments/likes)

A common 'reaction status' is seen after a popular TV show, when people post funny lines from the show knowing that people will be logging into Facebook shortly afterwards.

"How good is half term?" (obviously half term is good, but why would you say this for any other reason than to get a reaction? Reaction Status.)

"Remember when everyone used to have a Nokia 3310?" (The person posting this knows everyone had a 3310. They said so in their post. So why ask? Reaction Status.)

*any line from The Inbetweeners* (People posting these know large numbers of people watch The Inbetweeners, and often actually race to be the first to post a funny line, in order to secure the most comments/likes. Reaction Status.)

true reaction

Showing how you really feel. A reaction that once seen, is known to be the truth.

As soon as Alex saw Madison's hair, she had that "oh shit" look on her face. "You can't make this better," Madison said, "I know that was your true reaction."

late reaction syndrome

To have a dangerously slow reaction to things that happen to you.

1984-Doctor: im sorry but you have late reaction syndrome.
Ted: i've never heard of that so its probably nothing.

1985- Jim: Hey Ted
(Punches Ted in the face)

2011-(Ted, as the white receiver playing in the superbowl. The score is tied up with 20 secs left)
Ted: Hell yeah, imma win this game for all yall!
(Ted runs out to the touchdown line. reaches out as the ball comes hurling at him. all of a sudden Ted feels face as if he is being punched in the face and flies backward from the pain)

reacton

The word used when explaining how milk helps fix a router.

Bryce: So, I just pour the milk right over?
James: Yes, you just pour it over, this helps since it's a non-conductive liquid which helps the reacton.

Reactionary

one who supports Reaction in opposition to the general progressive Western zeitgeist, often accompanied by a sense that the expansion of democratic politcs has made life in general much worse either in absolute terms, or measured by what should have been achievable with modern science, reason, and technology; usually believes race is a real genetic construct and therefore not surprised at disparate average outcomes across large population groups; often believes human evolution has in part or in toto shaped human nature, which therefore cannot easily, or at all, be changed very much by social engineering and/or conditioning; usually believes heirarchy is imprinted upon mankind by nature and/or God, and that heirarchy is not only not necessarily evil, but desirable and even inevitable and ought not be torn down for any but the most grave reasons; tends to support tradition either as revealed by his religion and/or as successful adaptive memetic developments which usually solve deep and complex problems in human societies; anti-revolutionary; anti-socialist; anti-communist; anti-whig; anti-democratic; anti-globalist; skeptical; (once a term of derision, most reactionaries of late do happily so self-identify)

Tom suddenly realized he couldn't find a single Republican at the convention who didn't hail FDR anything less than a great hero. He remembered knowing conservatives in his youth who opposed both FDR and WWII. But where were they now? They had disappeared, but their thoughts and words had not. Tom hadn't changed his mind about much in the past 25 years, but he suddenly realized he was a Reactionary.
