A type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth, rather than paint or chalk. While yarn installations--called yarn bombs or knit bombs--may last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. The practice is believed to have originated in the U.S. with Texas knitters trying to find a creative way to use their leftover and unfinished knitting projects, but it has since spread worldwide.
While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing is almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places.

Get the Water Bombing mug.The act of posting a humorous, lude, vulgar, inappropriate, or disgusting message on a person's Facebook wall. In many cases these postings can be inside jokes between friends or a way to call them out in the public about a past event that happened IRL In Real Life. Wall Bombing has also been used to gather attention of other users to further glorify or exemplify this hilarity that has been displayed for everyone to read. Many wall bombers are notorious for facebook stalking.
