Facewait 

The act of not immediately confirming Facebook friend requests, thereby portraying oneself as having more important things to do than online social networking. Not unlike the three day rule for calling a potential mate after acquiring his/her telephone number.
Guy 1: "Dude, who's that hottie sitting in your pending request file? You should accept that ASAP."

Guy 2: "No doubt she's bangin', but I want her to sweat a little. I'll facewait it for another day or two."

Words you can keep
Cryptic posts in facebook that express a vague sentiment but do not provide any details, clearly designed to bait friends to ask follow-up questions.
A facebook wall post that could be considered facebait would be posts like "Today is the day!" or "Ugh, I am over it..." or "Now I know why I should stay home..." or "Hurt and disappointed..."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
