A public social media post shared with the intention for one specific person to see. Often shared to either get a reaction/response, for stories/snaps to see if someone is lurking you, or testing if they muted/are ignoring you. Often occurring in situationships, bad break ups, ghosting and orbiting, unrequited love, or intense crushes based on a fantasy version of that person in your head.

Get the post coolmug. When two or more members of an Internet Forum post back and forth trying to express their opinion on a subject. The conversation turns into a posting war and the discussion usually ends up going nowhere.
Poster A: My opinion is that Xbox is better than PS3
Poster B: No I don't agree, PS3 is better
Poster A: Are you crazy? you're so wrong
Poster C: You two are both wrong, Wii is better than both
Poster A: You're joking, right?
Poster D: This is turning into a game of Posting Tennis
