stalking horse

Someone or something whose role is to become the focal point for, or the initiator of, a debate or challenge. However, in reality their leadership role is an illusion, and the stalking horse is really working to promote a challenge or debate that will benefit a third party whose identity remains a secret.

Pete: "You been watching what them Clintons are up to?"
Cook: "I've been trying to ignore them now for 12 years."
Pete: "Well Slick Willie has been attacking Obama."
Cook: "Why?"
Pete: "Well he is acting as a stalking horse for Hillary to damage Obama's rep."
Cook: "I figured Obama already damaged his rep."
Pete: "Not as much as Willie can."
Cook: "Your wisdom is boundless."

post-stalking

To stalk somebody over the internet by finding and reading many of their posts on a forum. Usually done by overly curious friends/family members or by admiring fans. It can easily be performed by entering someone's name, e-mail address or username (if it's unique to that person) into a search engine.

Creepy stalker: "You live in Birmingham, right?"
Stalkee: "Woah, how did you know that?"
Creepy stalker: "Oh, I was sorta post-stalking you lolz."
Stalkee: "Wtf. Get a life."

Stalker

An overused word/name your ex-fiancé gives you when he bumped you cowardly by webcam, refused to meet you for a 20 minutes talk to close properly your past relationship and need a socially acceptable excuse when he is confronted in front of his friends in a public place and he wants to avoid looking like a bastard.

Mike bumped me and asked me not to contact him anymore. I called him once to have a proper talk : he called me a stalker.
