FOMO

(Acronym) Fear of Missing Out

Used when you've either been invited somewhere and can't attend for one reason or another. Or, when you haven't been invited somewhere and everyone else is going.
Kate: "Have you been invited to the hottest party of the year next week that everyone is going to?"

me: "What invite? No, I'm not. Is everyone going to be there? I've got serious FOMO"

FOMO

Short form for ‘fear of missing out’. The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell other shit to buy into it freaking out. As crypto trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto.
Sold all my shitcoins and FOMO'd into WABI, Qlink, and THEKEY . Gotta make sure I catch that green dildo yo.

FOMO

Fear Of Missing Out-
(I am the originator of this term back in 2000)
It's true definition is:

To be in one location yet have an overwhelming feeling that something really great is happening elsewhere...

thus you must leave one party to attend another... only to discover that you are still plagued by the fomo at the new location.
Burning Man gives me bad FOMO... actually all festivals do.
