Vaguebooking 

An intentionally vague Facebook status update intended to repel less important f-book friends by prompting them to "Hide" any of your future status updates, thereby getting them off your back and out of your business (see "passive aggressive tactics").

Josh (to Meg): omg Penelope is just getting so obnoxious with her vaguebooking. I'm hiding her updates from now on!

Meg (to Penelope): Josh told me he's going to hide your updates from now on.

Penelope (to Meg): Thank goodness, he's been incessantly commenting on my wall ever since he friended me.
