Vaguebooking

Writing a Facebook status to some without mentioning their name. Typically the updater and the person they are writing to know it's between them and make reply statuses back and forth. Sometimes it's with videos and not actual status updates.

Double vaguebooking

A vague response to a friend's vaguebooked status update that requires a third party to understand the original vaguebooked status in order to interpret, comprehend, and/or appreciate the response.

If uncontrolled, double vaguebooking can turn into triple or even quadruple vaguebooking.

Mary's comment on John's comment on Mary's comment on John's Facebook status: "Haha, so true!"
