Thumbnail Swag

When a girl or guy looks really good in their thumbnail picture on facebook, but when you open their page and see the blown up version it is less than satisfactory.

Dustin: Aww man that girl looks hot, check out her page!
(clicks open page)
Dustin: Dang, I thought she looked really good...
Gary: Yeah man, she's got thumbnail swag.

Thumbnail cute

Thumbnail Shopping

Online shopping with no intention of buying anything. Just admiring the product in the thumbnail, maybe looking at a few color options, and then scrolling by. Often done by college students who can't afford new stuff but can afford to ignore their professor for a little while.

Erin always sits in the back of her lectures so she can go thumbnail shopping when she gets bored with organic chemistry.

Thumbnail effect

when you think a girl is hot from the thumbnail of her profile picture, but upon further investigation, you find she is a slampig.

"Why didn't you smash last night, this girl looks hot"
"No click on her profile, it's just the thumbnail effect. She's gross."
