notification inebriation

The state of excitement and inflation of a sense of self when one gets many positive notifications through social media.

Thomas was completely in a state of notification inebriation from a series of stories and selfies so much that he began to tell strangers that he was the next Jesus or Kanye

Popularized by the video-sharing platform YouTube, this feature (in the form of a bell icon) allows users to receive alerts about each new video uploaded to a specific channel.

YouTube creator: "Please like the video, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to get notified whenever I upload new videos to my channel!"

fake notification

Mostly used by macintosh users.

While listening to a podcast or any other audiomaterial hearing the twitterific-, mail-, ichat-, adium-, skype-,
or whatever notification sound from one of the podcasting people and thinking it's a sound from your own computer
– but it is not.

It's related to notification paranoia.

Paul: "Everytime I'm listening to the RebelFM podcast I hear my mailprogram receiving new mails, but It didn't."

Mary: "So you fall for a fake notification?"

Paul: "Wait a sec, I heard a bird tweating"

Samsung notification sound

A notification sound usually from a Samsung phone. It seems innocent until, almost every kid in a school makes this freaking noise. They hum the tone, in a usually annoying tone. Usually that's just it, but they combine it with the burger king foot lettuce guy tone and amogus sus memes, it becomes a trigger sound. Otherwise, it's just a notification.

Guy 1: *hums the samsung notification sound*
Guy2: *just fine
Guy1: Sus, buger king foot lettuce, etc and samsung notification sound
Guy 1: Get out of my head x10000

Gray notification

A FB notification you don't really pay attention to when you receive it, because it's not the notification you were expecting in response to you

Zoe: Hey, I asked a question on our class Facebook group. Did you see it?

Janet: No. That was probably a gray notification for me because no one liked my new Facebook status.

Zoe: Loser.

Janet: Hey! Admit it! Everyone prefers likes on their Facebook posts!

Death by notification

When a smart phone gets so many facebook notifications, texts, emails, or BBMs, etc. in a small amount of time that the battery dies. This can be done by one person or a group of people either intentionally or not.

Girl: Asshole you straight liked my profile. My phone received Death by notification after receiving 98 notifications. I didn't realize this until my car was broken down at the side of the road.

Further after the phone died i continued receiving notifications as well.

Guy: LAY

Ghost Notification

An extremely annoying occurrence on facebook. A ghost notification is what happens when you click a notification, and it takes you to the appropriate place, but the notification still stays there, so you click it again, but nothing different happens. You get your hopes all up for another notification and it's just another dumb ghost notification.

YES!!!! ANOTHER NOTIFICATION!!!!

NOOOOOO it's a ghost notification
