Gatsby

Someone who is charismatic but is friends with no one.

These type of people seem to be able to charm themselves out of everything, and attract everyone, will joke around, laugh, and leave as soon as they lose interest.

No amount of time you spend with a gatsby will the person ever consider you a friend.
look at how popular that guy is, he's so talkative that he's befriending eveyone.

Don't let that fool you, he's a Gatsby, none of those people will be his friend at the end of day.

Gatsby Chocolate

Shitty overpriced chocolate company that attempts to use "dAnK iNtErNeT mEmEs" to boost sales. Just another startup that will ultimately fail due to bringing absolutely nothing new to the table in an already oversaturated market.
Gatsby Chocolate fucked up when they made an ad using a fake UrbanDictionary.com definition for their ads.

Gatsby

When you put out a specific social media post in the hopes of gaining the attention of one specific person. Similar to how Gatsby threw parties every weekend just in hopes of gaining Daisy's attention.

This post can be a thirst trap or a memory or something targeted just to get that specific person's attention.

After posting the Gatsby, the poster will then obsessively check to see if the person they had in mind has viewed/liked the snap/story/post
