This is when you’re in a ZOOM/video meeting with people you don’t know well (usually during a pandemic) and you’re bored so you want to leave. You don’t really know how to exit gracefully, so you get all anxious and continue to hang out: the “panic lurk”.
My friend just had a Zoom Bday party and I didn’t know anyone.
I was bored and wanted to go, but didn’t want to offend her so I just panic lurked.

Get the Panic lurkmug. Lurking side characters are a group of background characters in SpongeBob
Each lurking side character has its own physical appearance due to being filler characters who are far in the distance they don’t do anything much there so distant that u can’t even see there pupils in fact they look like herobrine
However these characters are special because they server a completely different purpose then the other background characters they aren’t really meant to speak and are seen in the either the distance lines or crowds but also generic background characters in the distance
A fun fact before we end this: Even tho they look like herobrine in episodes such as Valentine’s Day, the good krabby name, Sandy’s nutmare and snail mail they can be closer (not in foreground close) but they have drawn pupils

Get the Lurking side charactersmug. As you can see, he is not a part of the team, but he insists he is. This is called Delusional Lurking.

Get the Delusional Lurkingmug. - They're lurking again. What are we supposed to do to get them to actually speak?
- Ping them?
- Bad idea. It never works. They just lurk and lurk and lurk. I wouldn't be surprised if they know more about this chat then we do.

Get the Lurkingmug. A subtle, obscene gesture used when you can't find the words of hatred to use against another individual (human, animal, etc.) Generally used against authority figures, such as a supervisor, superintendent, or even a bossy in-law. Gesture is performed by sliding your hand down to your thigh area, and popping an upside down middle digit.
Feelings conveyed while using this gesture are "go f*ck a hat" "sit on it and rotate" "please wash your mouth with a 12 gauge" and "I will fill your urethra with pine cones". Ladies and gentlemen, the Lurk Finger.
