When an anonymous person or persons eats a noticable amount of the snacks in your house; and nobody fesses up when parents/siblings get pissed off and the issue is adressed. A great excuse to get your family off your ass.

Sister: Where the hell did all of the oreos go?

Me: i dont know.

Mom: Bullshit, you're the one who had friends over last night! I just bought those oreos yesterday morning!

Me: Looks to me like some paranormal snacktivity..

Everyone: Ahh.. I see..

slacktivism

The act of participating in obviously pointless activities as an expedient alternative to actually expending effort to fix a problem.

Signing an email petition to stop rampant crime is slacktivism. Want to really make your community safer? Get off your ass and start a neighborhood watch!

slacktivism

One of those feel-good internet campaigns that doesn't actually help anybody or has political impact. It's your way of pretending to care while sitting on your butt in front of a computer playing WoW.

Also used for people who want to get a million people on their page by before bettering themselves or the world instead of just doing it.

Girl: Let's show our support by changing our Facebook statuses to promote what color our bras are!

Boy: Why does your status say "nothing"?

Girl: I'm supporting breast cancer awareness via Facebook!

Boy: One of the best examples of slacktivism I've ever heard of...
