So Sarah could say something to Steve than Steve says that to Iron Man than Iron Man gives a response to Steve, who then relays that to Sarah. Repeat to infinity.

Proxy Slur

Proxy Slur: A term or phrase that is commonly used in a seemingly innocent or neutral manner, but has been assigned a covert, derogatory meaning by specific groups or in certain contexts. The offensive connotation is not apparent to those outside the specific group or context.
"Neighbor": In your example, the word "Neighbor" is a regular term used to describe someone living nearby. However, if two or more parties have agreed to use it as a stand-in for a racial slur, it becomes a proxy slur in their specific interactions.

"Apple": Imagine a scenario where a group uses the word "Apple" to derogatively refer to a person from a certain city or region, unbeknownst to others. In this context, "Apple" functions as a proxy slur.

"Blue Sky": In a hypothetical case, if "Blue Sky" is used among a particular group to negatively refer to a certain ideology or belief system in a covert way, it would be a proxy slur in that context.

When you consistently post graphic pictures and descriptions of your sick or injured kids on Facebook to get attention that you would otherwise not get.
Yet again, Rachel posted a closeup of her kid's bloody nose on Facebook. Her Facebook Munchausen by Proxy is flaring up. I think I'll unfollow.

Facebook Proxy

When somebody looking over your shoulder tells you to post something on somebody's Facebook page, when you have no desire to leave a message for that person.
Girlfriend: "Hey! Post Happy Birthday" on your nephews Facebook page !"

Me: "I don't even know him. He is my sister's son."

Girlfriend: "Just do it !"

Me: "Yes, m'am-you are a Facebook Proxy."

PROXY (software)

PROXY is a licensed software product made by PROXY Networks. Besides being utterly stupid to name any software "proxy" (more widely known as being something completely different in IT networking), the product still looks like it's from Windows 95 and handles more or less to that capacity.

It's complete crap
Idiot help desk tech: My IT shop uses PROXY (software) for remote connections to manage our infrastructure.

Network tech: Wait, why are you using a network proxy for something you need to access remotely?

Every other IT professional: PROXY sucks, use something... literally ANYTHING else.
