link bender

When you click on a link in an article, but there is a link that interests in you in that article and then you click on that link, but then it takes you to another article and you click a link in that website, etc. You do this for a long period of time, getting completely lost and end up in a site that bears absolutely no relationship to what you were originally looking for. This happens when you try to research things, it can have a good ending when you do this for fun, a bad ending when you're doing this and getting nowhere when you need to learn something, or it can have a saucy ending when you end up looking at porn. Also, used frequently on FB updates, especially when you are supposed to be doing something productive and you end up no where near that productive thing, doing something else, and sometimes even just back on facebook or whatever social media site you use.

Link and Build

1. A concept from hustler culture that typically means to network with someone who can help you become more successful. You may be linking and building also by exchanging info and building out your network, adding someone on the social media site Linkedin, meeting with people to organize for social justice or community projects, or lastly, doing something with someone else in a social setting to gain more clout. NOTE: Sometimes for two people to "link" is used interchangeably with "link and build" but "link" is the more casual / informal version.

2. The term is also used ironically to talk about meeting friends, by meme pages to make fun of hustler culture, and by co-workers who are using the term to refer to doing something not related to work but with work friends. It is used in this way by in a satirical video by Cherdleys called "When the clout attacks," where they mention at some point that someone is going to "Link and Build."
1. Sincere version You seem make sick beats. I really want to work on music with you.

2. Ironic version Yo boys in chat, we gotta link and build later.
