social moment

1. That moment when a group of friends in a social setting all stop talking to one another because they're all checking their social media.

2. That moment when you fall out of a conversation with friends and start checking your phone and scrolling and scrolling. No, he didn't write you back yet!
1. "Look at that table! They're all just sitting there on their phones not talking. Are they even friends?"

"Sure, they're just having a social moment."

2. "......... Hey, Jess! I'm talking to you!"

"Huh? Sorry, I was having a social moment."

Social Media Researcher (SMR)

SMR (Social Media Researcher)

Often mistaken for a stalker, but with better intentions and Wi-Fi.

A highly skilled individual trained in the art of digital observation. SMRs don't stalk - they gather data. From tracking down your ex's new fling to locating someone's high school graduation pics from 2020, SMRs use advanced techniques like clicking, scrolling, and zooming in on blurry group photos.

They're not creepy - they're curious.

They're not obsessive - they're efficient.

They don't follow people... okay, maybe they do. But only for research.
Example:

"Wait, how do you know his mom's maiden name?"

"I'm not a stalker, I'm an Social Media Researcher (SMR). Do your homework."

Country Social

To be overly nice to someone whom you either actively dislike or just aren’t interested in interacting with, but don’t want to cause a scene and risk disrupting the social order.

-Most regularly seen between two white women.
-The interaction is extremely disingenuous and is basically an over-the-top version of the basic “hi how are you” “I’m good how bout you”.
-Pet names such as “hun”, “sweet”, “darling” are often used. Interactions are always brief lasting up to 7 back and forth rounds of conversation but usually only 4.
-To an outside observer, this often looks like an interaction between lifelong best friends.
Tiffany: Jane! So nice to see you!! Have you been doing?
Jane: well howdy, hun! I’ve been great! How are you and the kids?
Tiffany: Everyone is doing great! Jake just graduated from NYU and Lily is pregnant with a baby girl!
Jane: Send them my love!! *walks away*
John: I had no idea you and Tiffany were so close.

Jane: I can’t stand that bitch. I was just being country social.

Social Puritism

An economic type in which all necessities are provided by the government for free while luxuries must be purchased by the individual. Social puritism resembles social capitalism in some ways but the market and companies are much more regulated to ensure they cannot exploit workers or consumers. On the left-right economic spectrum, social puritism falls under center-left to left depending on the implementation whereas social capitalism is center.

Origin: Created by Zenno Shugunou due to him not being in favor of any economic types at the time. The "Social" part comes from "Socialism" and "Social Capitalism" while the "Puritism" part refers to the system resembling a version of social capitalism that has been purged of its evils.
Under social puritism, no one ever went hungry.
