PhotoSnob

People who assume that photography is all scene kids taking scene pictures.
Its the arogance of thinking that anyone with a a camera smaller than the size of your face can't possibly be taken seriously.
Assuming that using photoshop means you have no talent (Even though photoshop is a tool to be used the same way you tweak photographs in the darkroom)

Constantly thinking you are better than other photographers.

A sickening breed of premadonna
dude1- Uh. That stupid geek over there has no talent just look at his puny camera

Dude2- yea! How do you expect to get any good photo without a camera the size of entire back?!?!

Dude1- Yea i know what a talentless loser

Kid with small camera- man i am sick of all these stupid PhotoSnob's always picking on me.

One of the MOST ANNOYING messages you will come across on the social networking community Myspace.

What it means is that that particular user has chosen to make the pictures in their photo page only available to friends, or sometimes nobody at all.

- -

These people may have a myriad of reasons to justify hiding their photos, which include:

Shyness (rather stupid, since you put yourself on the web in the first place - why not show all?)

To repel pervs - understandable, since there are certainly a lot out there. Not all hot 19 year-old chicks on myspace want some icky 40-year old fat guy masturbating to their photos.

To prevent "fakes" - for some strange reason, certain losers love to steal people's pictures, and make a fake profile using those pictures. The motives for this are lost on me. Maybe these losers get off on how many views their fake profile gets??

To prevent picture theft and editing - again, people sometimes steal the pictures, and then photoshop them in various ways. I don't understand why.

And the final reason - just to be annoying.
Teenage boy 1: "Hey, I just found some really cute girl on myspace"
Teengage boy 2: "Let's look at her pics!"
Teenage boy 1: "Oh, damn, they're set to private!"
Teenage boy 2: "Huh?"
Teenage boy 1: "Yeah, it says The user you're trying to view has set all their photos to private."

Photoshop Beautiful

A term used to describe how someone looks in a picture edited and doctored in photoshop. Can be used either as a compliment to both model and photog for a job well done or disparagingly to describe someone who looks epicly fit in a pic but in actual reality is as rough as a dogs rotting corpse.
Mate, Faye and Abi both look utterly Photoshop beautiful on FB right now. You gotta check it out you'll spooge.

Well mate i'm gutted. In her pic on Plenty Of Fish she look well fucking tasty but when I saw her in the pub she was such a fucking pig I nearly vomited up a lung. Photoshop beautiful and nothing else. Fail

Photoshop hoc, ergo hoc vera

Photoshop hoc, ergo hoc vera is a logical fallacy whereby something is assumed to be true because someone photoshopped a picture of it.
An example of "Photoshop hoc, ergo hoc vera" is a picture of a Nobel Prize stained in blood stating that someone doesn't deserve a Nobel Prize because they are responsible for more deaths than Hitler. "Photoshop hoc, ergo hoc vera" applies people assume that the picture is true just because someone made it, and then share it with others.
