attentionize

1) To give full attention. Use of the command form is often extreme and denotes a large need for seriousness and/or importance.

Students are often expected to attentionize their teachers during class.

The class abruptly stopped talking after their normally laid back teacher loudly yelled, "ATTENTIONIZE ME!"

attention blocking

when somebody blocks you, then unblocks you, and then blocks you, and so on very rapidly so that the right side of your screen fills up with 'Scabby is Online' 'Scabby is Offline' 'Scabby is Online' etc.

often used by attention-seeking losers who want to make it very apparent that you know that they don't want to talk to them. of course, they are such idiots that they don't realise that this undermines the entire basis and point of blocking somebody.

'Oh, Chwist on a Cwucifix, he's attention blocking me again'
'How can you tell'

'Scabby is Online'
'Scabby is Offline'
'Scabby is Online'
'Scabby is Offline'
'Scabby is Online'
'Scabby is Offline'

'Thats how.'

attention whore

A person who is constantly looking for attention that he/she can never get in real life. It's also possible that this person has a really crappy life and proceeds to hide it and pretend that he/she's above the people he makes fun of. It is the sole reason why this person constantly screams about his opinion on the internet, looking up videos a bout things he hate and then leaving links to his/her own crappy videos just to get views. This person will also go through great lengths to try and find people that agree with them in hopes of finally getting the sense of belonging somewhere.

An example of an online attention whore would be this guy : alexsavov2 or his alter ego : oldsaviboy

This person is the epitome of attention whores. He constantly goes to every Frozen related posts just to scream that he hates and then proceeds to leave links to his videos about him screaming how he hates Frozen. Sometimes you even see him on videos that have nothing to do with Frozen and then this guy brings it up out of nowhere and then proceeds to scream some more of how much he hates like we get it! Shut up about this damn movie it's been two years! Move on, you're acting no better than the immature Frozen fanboys/fangirls.

Attention Span Ponzi Scheme

An Attention Span Ponzi Scheme is a system of recruitment of people to pay attention to a topic. People recruited to the topic are then encouraged to drag in the attention spans of others.

The entire system collapses when everyone realizes that the topic is bankrupt of value to be discussed in the first place.

Examples of Attention Span Ponzi Schemes include chain letters, time-wasting Facebook applications, and any social reference group that is based on recruiting others to participate or play for the subject to have sustained interest.
