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 Syndrome

Posting, Reposting, Liking, or any other form of sharing on social media, with the intent of someone specific seeing the "message"

1. Posting something hoping your crush will see is an example of gatsby syndrome, you got this!

2. Liking a post about how the "love of your life" hurt you is also Gatsby Syndrome, you tell them bestie 💞

Gatsby Story

When you make a private story just so one person will see it and reply to you

I made a Gatsby Story to get Niamh to reply to me

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

Calvin put up a Gatsby on his snap to get Jana's attention

gatsby posting

Posting Instagram stories for the sake of reaching *one* specific person by publishing to hundreds of people,
like the Great Gatsby throwing lavish parties hoping daisy buchanan might stop by

Great Gatsbying

Publicly posting on social media something secretly meant for one person specifically in hopes to for them to interact with it. In the same vein that Jay Gatsby threw extravagant parties in hopes to attract one person.

“I wonder who Todd has a crush on he’s Great Gatsbying on his story again”
