Social Media Hostage

You have embraced social media, and are enthusiastically integrating it into your work and personal life. Suddenly you find yourself friended and followed by someone you are unable to comfortably deny. You become a Social Media Hostage when one of these unwanted friends/followers turns into a Facebook Stalker or full-blown Social Media Stalker.
Ann: He friended me on Facebook and followed me on Twitter...and I felt I had to accept. Now he's annoying as hell, and I can't comfortably unfriend or block him.

Amy: I had that happen with a manager at work. I became a Social Media Hostage, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Social Network Flexer

When a person parades on social networks as if they're rich and living an extravagant life, when in reality they dont have a car, home, and/or job. They present a mythical life to exude they lifestyle they want, instead of the life they have, which in turn makes them a Social Network Flexer.
Jessica always posts pictures of red bottoms (which cost over $500.00), but she doesn't have a car. She is such a Social Network Flexer!

Among modern North American teenagers obsessed with swag and yolo, it is not flash to be a social retard, unless you want to lol in the remake of the movie the 40 Year Old Virgin.

Social Justice Warrior

Or SJW. A term that bigots use to insult people who don't like their bigotry - someone who fights against discrimination and hatred, annoying people who like to discriminate and to hate. Hard to believe that basically calling somebody as righteous as Martin Luther King Jr. is now an insult, but the Internet is a sad, sad place.
It's always hilarious to hear SJW used as an insult. "Social justice warrior" is the basic plot of most '80s action shows and cartoons. Arriving in places and fighting against discrimination? The A-Team were social justice warriors. It's practically a synonym for Knight Rider. Insulting someone for respecting other people is like insulting them for masturbating -- the fact you don't do it has way more to do with why you're so upset all the time.
