Smartphone Cruising

When someone peppers their Facebook updates around the time they go to, and come back from work - they are 'Smartphone Cruising'.

They're looking for an excuse to pull out their new iPhone/Nexus to show off to everyone in the carriage that they have a Bleeding Edge phone/cell.

They have no friends, but hundreds of Facebook Friends - so updating your status gives a 'Smartphone Cruiser' something to do with their gadget.

Usually practised by male Uber geeks, of The Great Unwashed variety. In the mistaken and laughable belief that women will become aroused.

(They won't).
George: Hey! Melvin is spamming my Facebook feed with his updates again.
Mike: On his way to work?
George: I guess...
Mike: He's showboating his iPhone - y'know, 'Smartphone Cruising'?
George: Uh. True!

Driving round in your car with friends listening to loud music . Very common in small towns in Northern Ireland. Rather pointless apart from a waste of time when the pubs are closed or when the local garage is all out of buckfast. Common in newly-qualified drivers or "those annoyin kids with their R plates"
Going out "for a drive" and passing the same place at least ten times while "checking the talent". Car cruising is a good way 2 waste time.

Tom Cruising

A verb used to describe a situation when a homosexual male, who also happens to be "in the closet", begins going out with a girl in order to attempt to prove that he is not a homosexual. Usually, when a man is Tom Cruising, everyone already knows that he's gay, except for him.

The origin of the term comes from Tom Cruise, who was criticized about his sexuality and soon afterward married Katie Holmes. Many people still believed he was homosexual though, and the phrase was born.
