When wearing a large threaded sweater of long sleeve shirt of some sort and after a while with weight on the elbow area, the skin on and around your elbow has thread lines imprinted in it. Usually accompanied with very slight pain/discomfort.
Carolyn: "What is with your skin there?"
Allen: "Oh, it's this sweater, it gives me bad thread elbow"

Get the thread elbow mug.A person who makes some kind of awkward comment on a status thread, which stops the thread dead in it's tracks.

2. They remember her/him being a "weirdo" in school/former or current job, etc.

The best strategy is to try to hit the shuttlecock straight into the opponent's naughty places.
He sure is a thread killer!

When a person starts a posting on a message board, or forum, or Facebook, that others are able to comment on, that original posting and the comments on it are called a thread. A thread hijacking occurs when one or more individuals commenting on the original posting, go off topic, creating a separate conversation. This is rude, and bad internet etiquette. If people want to discuss a different topic, they should start their own thread.
Below is a thread, consisting of an original posting and comments on that original posting. They illustrate a thread hijacking.
original posting: I'm so excited that my cat has learned to use the toilet with City Kitty! The training seemed like it took forever, but it's so worth it to not have to deal with a litter box any more! Has anyone else done this?
comment 1: Ugh! I just started training my cat, but he can't seem to move beyond the orange stage. How'd you get through that?
comment 2: I'm training my dog at PetCo classes. She's very smart. She learns the commands faster than the other dogs.
comment 3: I'm training my dog in PetCo classes too. They have great trainers. They're patient with the dogs and the people.
Comments 2 and 3 are off topic and are hijacking this thread. The person who made comment 2 should have started their own thread. The person who made comment 3 is guilty of continuing the hijacking.
