A drive-by liking is when a Facebook user has responded to all messages, reviewed all notifications, planted their crops on Farmville, and updated their status etc. This person has basically exhausted all efforts to occupy their time on Facebook. Being left with a sense of emptiness and desperation for entertainment, this bored college student in question can perform a drive-by liking in one of two ways.
1) The individual will proceed to like everyone's status updates posted within the past four hours, completely ignoring the nagging feeling that they should be doing something productive with their life.
2) This kind of drive-by liking occurs when visiting a fellow Facebook whore's page and liking everything that the victim has done within the past couple of days. The goal of this is to ensure that upon logging in, the victim will be greeted with 99 notifications.
Drive-by likings should never discriminate. In fact, the most satisfying status updates to like are ones that: have absolutely NOTHING to do with you, include the letters FML, include a sad face, or are sprinkled with typos (and are posted at about 2:15 AM).
Performing a drive-by liking accomplishes a couple things: they make you feel 1337 next time you log in due to the fact that you will (if performed correctly) have 99 notifications yourself, and successfully wasted hours of life that you will never get back.

Get the Drive-by Liking mug."Look for the silver lining" is a suggestion that has been said so often it may appear trite to some. But it actually contains a very deep wisdom, that can help us all to get through difficulties.
"Every cloud has a silver lining" means that every difficulty or setback that causes harm, also contains a potential for a beneficent outcome. By searching for any positive effects of any difficulty or confusing circumstance, we can begin to feel more inner peace in response to the situation, thus regaining our ability to solve it if we can, or accept it if we can't.

I was so distraught that the cyclone had ripped apart our house, and destroyed everything I owned, that I became morose and helpless, unable to do anything. But I noticed that the entire neighborhood were all helping each other, talking to each other cheerfully, sympathetically, showing kindnesses and support in a way they never had before, and I began to recognize that there was a silver lining even in this disaster!

In the film Forrest Gump, Forrest asks Lt. Dan what he's doing now when he sees him for the first time after they arrive home. Lt. Dan, who has lost both legs and is confined to a wheelchair, states, "Living off the government tit."

In recent years, the term has a negative connotation and is often used to describe healthy welfare recipients that are able to work but choose not to because they are satisfied with their welfare checks for doing nothing.
