socially awesome

Describes someone who, after spending his childhood/adolescence/young adulthood being labelled "socially awkward" by insecure peers, finally gets his shit together and through experience learns how to be the life of the party.

Hey, remember that kid Lance who never knew what to say about the latest Jersey Shore episode? He was, like, soooo socially awkward.

No, he's socially awesome now, I totally saw him last weekend at the bar and he was telling the best jokes to a group of 50 people.

Social Trap

A Social Trap is where someone uses another persons decency against them, generally to make them do something they'd rather not. They can start as an open invitation or request to do something that someone would not normally do, if they refuse they risk being uncharacteristically rude or impolite, or they continue. While not entirely unlike peer pressure Social Traps rely more on the finesse of landing the target in the trap, whether this be through carefully calculated subterfuge or dumb-luck. This makes them more similar to plain manipulation or a lower-stakes ultimatum, however instead of choosing A or B they are slightly more geared towards the etiquette and standards of the target.

"Dude what happened? I left you and Lucy alone for 10 minutes and I come back to you watching this."
"I didn't want to watch it, if I had refused it would've been rude."
"Yeah right, bet you enjoyed."
No I really didn't . She totally caught me in a Social Trap."

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.
