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.

Get the The Great Gatsbymug. 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.

Get the Pulling a Gatsbymug. 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

Get the Gatsbymug. A superficial or hurried method of cleaning a space by hiding clutter in closets, under furniture, or out of sight in order to give the appearance of tidiness—typically done to impress guests or visitors. Inspired by the extravagant yet carefully staged appearances in The Great Gatsby
I didn’t have time to deep clean before the dinner party, so I just did a Gatsby Clean—shoved the laundry in the closet and wiped down the counters.
