metacomment

A comment in an online forum or discussion board about a topic that is, itself, about a comment or the author of a comment rather than the topic being discussed.

Metacomments typically occur as a series of negative personal comments between participants and tend to derail the topic of conversation, descending into chaos (or brilliance, depending on your perspective).

Person 1: I thought the movie was boring. And the lead actor is way too unattractive to take seriously as the love interest.
Person 2: Your boring and unatractive.
Person 1: It's "you're" and "unattractive" dumbass. Learn to spell.
Person 2: Oh, sorry. Is this better? You're unattractive.
Person 1: Nice one, bitch.
Person 3: It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again and again.
Person 1: What?
Person 2: Huh?
Person 1: Fucking dork.
Person 2: Yeah, prolly lives in his mom's basement.
Person 1: True. And you should "prolly" learn how to spell "probably" too.
Person 2: Ugh.
Person 4: What's with all the metacommentary? Can we get back to talking about the movie?
Person 1: No.
Person 2: Shut up.

Mefac

A huge, buttfuckload of shit. Like a guy just shat out Oprah and Cristi Ally at the same time. Usually smells bad enough to kill a small animal, it will plug the toilet and sometimes fill the septic tank. Plumbers will forever hate the person that made the Mefac, cursing them out as the walk out of the bathroom in a tattered has-mat suit.

" I plugged the toilet!"
"How bad?"
"Mefac bad, oh God 3 rats just died on the floor"
"I'll get the gas masks"

To think about thinking about doing something.

I had so many things to do, that in the end, all I did was metacogcrastinate.

Metacycling

When a piece of media extends in age, loses it's original meaning and eventually becomes a parody of itself; often leading too extremely ambiguous, strange and abstract representations.

Example 1: The Simpsons has been on the air for so long; it's been Metacycling since season 20.
