Social Geeking

The use of social media (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.) to obsess about intellectual ideas/theories, books, people, and/or other academic curiosities.

You can tell she's been social geeking, I just saw that she "liked" Henry Giroux, the critical theorist, on Facebook.

Social itard

a person so obsessed with their connection with their iphone and other isolated people who can only connect to humans via their phone that they have lost the ability to connect to real humans. Often victims of being hit unexpectedly by other pedestrians, bicyclists and cars because they are disconnected from the real world.

A social itard is a person who cannot look you in the eyes or communicate verbally but who smiles laughs and exudes warmth at texts and other interactions via their phone.

Social-lite

A Social-lite is a fabulous person who loves to socialize just a little bit. Perfectly balancing going out and staying in.

That beautiful social-lite went out for dinner with friends, but returned home early enough to watch a great movie.
