a subject that can be used to control someone, as a killswitch for undesirable behavior. it is somewhat synonymous with blackmail, extortion, etc.. derived from the act of tying a Lightening bug (the southern term for Firefly) to a thread, so that it can be jerked around in the air, like a dog on a leash.
my friend told me one of his take-it-to-the-grave secrets, so I told him one of mine, as a lightening bug thread.

The appropriate response to a forum/message board topic thread that is of no use to anything. It consists of no content worthy of reading, teal deers, and self pictures that make you want to throw acid in your eyes. Also, in general the OP is a giant faggot.
OP: "Hey guiz, post what Urban Dictionary Says about your name! Come on, it will be fun!"

commenting on a post or thread with the intent of stopping all future comments from the author or other participants. The thread bust usually goes off-topic of the original sentiment or twists it into a different meaning before ending all future coments.
post: the kids are at grandma and grandpa's for the week. time for some alone time with the wife.
commenter 1: that's awesome. you guys are "lucky ducks!"
commenter 2: I think you meant to say rabbits, not ducks.
this is a simple example and may not result in thread bust but shows the intent of thread busting.
