Culture Vulture

A scavenger, circling the media, looking for scraps of originality to add to their conceit. They sport eclectic styles and tastes, always recognisable as having been borrowed without adaption or refinement from elsewhere.
David Bowie is probably the best example of a successful culture vulture.

Content Vulture

An account with many followers that steals original content and passes it off as their own, often for the sole purpose of monetary gain. Content Vultures gain a following by reposting content that has already become popular.

This type of account can be found on any site but is most successful on sites like twitter and instagram, where viewers often share posts without checking the source.

Synonym: reposter

Phone vulture

A person who spends the entire day waiting for a phone call, usually darting their eyes to the phone every few seconds to see if it would start magically ringing. Like a vulture, whenever someone else would like to make a phonecall or receive one, the phone-vulture screams at them to "keep the freaking lines open", and on most occasions rears up to attack.

For cellphone-users, people usually look at the screen every two minutes to see the time, and check their inbox for any unread text-messages.
Fred: Did you see how Jenny was waiting around the phone like that? My grandmother is calling today and she won't let me use it.

Carol: Oh, yeah. She had a one night stand with Tom and he's supposed to call her. Of course he never will, but you know how much of a phone vulture she can be.

Example 1:
Office Mate 1: We have all these extra pizza slices and cake from the McGyver's birthday party, what should we do?

Office Mate 2: Just put them on the vulture table. One of those fat cows will eat them up or take them home.
