Gatsby Post

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.

(Put down the phone love, remove them as a follow and move on. You deserve better)

"stop checking who viewed your story" "I can't it's a Gatsby, I'm trying to see if my ex has viewed it or if he muted me"

"hey do you think is selfie is hot enough? I'm Gatsby Posting - shooting my shot by giving Tony a chance to fire emoji react o it but it has to be hot enough because if he only views it and doesn't react I will just DIE"

post up

To stand up and get into line, like posts in a fence.

When the prison guard tells everyone to "post up" he means for the prisoners get into line to be counted.

Post it up

Also known as: Postin' it up, rock-it-hard, blockin' hard, etc.

The act of one or more people assuming random gangster poses, usually poses that originated from Run-DMC in the 80's. Crossed arms, gangster hats, bandannas, and Gumball 3000/Puma's and 13-14 year old girls are a must to correctly "Post it up."

Kenneth, Seth, and Jeff post it up hard.

Jeff tries to get girls to post it up with them. And it never works.

post-racial

Commonly confused to mean "a society one generation removed from an era of prevalent racism", it is in fact a reference to the newly developed ability of racists to "post" their perennial screeds on the Internet through the use of blogs and message boards.

It is no surprise that since the election, nut jobs have come out of the wood work on to their computers to post-racial rants against Obama.
