A meaningless action that basically means that the individual has no intention of resolving an issue but wants to put forward the impression that it is being dealt with

Sarcastic reference to one poster on a message board grandstanding and offering to fight another poster in real life. Harkens back to bad high school days.
Dude 1: You don't like my political views? I'm going to drive up there and kick your ass!

A good way to get yourself fired. Well, that is if you do it only to have fun somewhere, such as the beach.
Cesar: Hey, did you hear that Carl did something that was not only really dumb but also completely selfish?
Becky: I did not, what did he exactly do?
Cesar: Well, he decided to call out sick, but only to go have fun somewhere.
Becky: That is so selfish of him, was he allowed to keep his job?
Cesar: No, he got fired.
Becky: Good, idiots like that deserve to get the boot.
Becky: I did not, what did he exactly do?

A form of verbal abuse with the intention to make the victim feel guilty. Like getting raped but it's actually justified you deserved it 100%. Worse is the dilemma you get put into between dismissing it and making yourself look worse than before or giving in to their twisted perception and making yourself look weak-minded. The worst verbal abuse in existence. Bar none.
A: I did a harmless thing only to get a call-out on it for being "rude". Not only that, when I objected, even more people started calling me out on it and made me feel guilty over nothing. It felt far more burdensome than when some random stranger called me a racial slur. Because it's not like I deserved that.
