tragedy porn aficionado

Noun, usually a person. A person who shares news articles on social media about car accidents, drownings, house fires, weather- and other natural-disasters for the purpose of looking like you care about the victims. Also seen as an opportunity to offer thoughts and prayers in place of real support or help for the victims.
My friend posts daily articles about car accidents and house fires in her town, but she hasn't donated jack to help the victims. She's a total tragedy porn aficionado.

If I have to read another Facebook post from a tragedy porn aficionado offering thoughts and prayers instead of actual help for the victims, I'm going to scream.

tragbrag

1) When a person goes into a detailed spiel about some tragedy he or she had experienced in such an obnoxious way, it seems like they're bragging about it.

2) When someone actually brags about tragedies just to earn imaginary tough badges of courage. These people are often attention depraved, socially inept creatures. Approach with caution.
1) Brody tried to tragbrag me when I said my foot hurt with some long ass story about losing his pinky toe in a blizzard. I barely know the guy.

2) Maria tragbragged about her date rape experience to her group of friends only to be found out as a total liar, because no one would sleep with a crazy bitch like that.

tragic love

It's one of those things that you really only understand if you've experienced it. It's when one person finds another that is perfect for them and for whatever reason they can't be with that person. Usually they have some sort of very close relationship over a long period of time with the object of their affection, but the love is true and real and strong and inherently tragic because it is and always will be unrequited. Often abbreviated "TL."
