Outrage-click

The act of clicking on an internet article because it's headline has provoked a sense of outrage within the reader.

The articles are typically clickbait designed to generate a sense of outrage, leading to more page views and advertising revenue. They are rarely enlightening or teach the reader anything new, and could be construed as an intellectual waste of time.

I foolishly outrage-clicked on an article about flat earthers, even though they are ultimately inconsequential and not worth anybody's time thinking about.

Click Hit

When a song goes into the top 10s (sometimes #1) for a few days or weeks and drops more than 20 points due to it only being streamed by people who are online or their fan base that the general public never picked up.

Barb: Did you see that Trollz went #1?
Lamb: But it dropped over 30 points, it was just a click hit

Academic Clicking Moment

Also known as a ACM. It occurs when you’re in an otherwise boring class. All of a sudden, you become interested in what’s going on, leading you to complete your work faster and sometimes wishing that you had more.

Joshie was in health class when he induced an academic clicking moment learning about the heart.

danger click

whenever you click on a link that is probably NSFW.

In a post on reddit about male and female chickens, somebody post a link with a supposedly "relevant image". I clicked it. Thankfully the danger click just lead to a funny picture.

pity click

Noun or verb: Sympathetically clicking "like" or an emoticon on the posting of an unattractive or unpopular FaceBook friend in order to help maintain the life-sustaining illusion that their lives are interesting. A low risk / low effort virtual version of the Pity Fuck.

Unaware that all of Lisa's responses to his FaceBook postings were just pity clicks, Warren made a beeline for her at the class reunion, thinking after 25 years he would finally score..
