Social studies

The worst subject in all of life. Like who needs to know about things that happened long ago?!? Like if I need to know about history I would just read. Who needs history?
Person: Why is social studies a thing? Who needs it?
Social studies teacher: you better need it to learn!
Person: about what?
Social studies teacher: Ummmm... Something?

Social Moth

Similar in nature to a Social Butterfly in that they are attracted to social events, or anywhere a number of people are gathered.

The main difference being that while a Social Butterfly is usually more outgoing and well liked by their social group(s), Social Moths gather around the popular people & places without being particularly popular themselves, much like a moth is attracted to a bright light.

Social Moths usually aren't particularly attractive or talented and tend to lack any real personality so they gather around people with those qualities to make themselves appear more interesting.

Not to be confused with a Wallflower who may actually have a great personality but is generally just introverted or shy in large groups.

Steve: Aww man, Dave showed up again. Who invites him anyway?

Tony: Yeah, he's a total Social Moth, showing up uninvited and hangin around all the popular people but he really doesn't have many friends.

Social Terrorism 

Dropping a bomb in the middle of a social situation to make things awkward.
My sister just committed an act of Social Terrorism. She goes, "Ed, why are you so cheap? Even my brother says you are cheap." And then she turns around and goes to the bar, leaving me to clean up the disaster.

social intercourse 

The separation of impersonal and significant relationships. In order to engage in Social Intercourse, one must consider the other individual to be significant. This situation can be expressed through shared music, laughter, or deep and meaningful conversation.
If you have ever had a close friend or lover that can make you laugh with a single glance or that can finish your sentences for you, this is Social Intercourse in action.
