Ghostwalking 

Ghostwalking is the common phenomena of non-White people pretending to be White on the internet in order to get away with Anglophobia or to infiltrate White circles. A person who does this is referred to as a, "ghostwalker."

"Ghost" refers to the color that ghosts are - white - as well as the fact that ghosts only come out at night, an allusion to darkness. "Walking" refers to the way they try to normally pass off as being White.
(In an online chat forum) Ghostwalking:

Person 1: "Hello my fellow White men, I think us White's are evil!"
Person 2: "What? Skincheck!"

Person 1: "No, no, you don't get it, I am part Italian!"
Person 2: "Okay, ghostwalker!"

ghostworking 

Employees pretending or faking to work just to get through the work day. Can be at home or in the office. In some cases the employee is actually working on their resume or talking to a recruiter from another business, but not for the business they are working for.
Students often try to find a ghostworking job so they can study, or write their novel. But most employers frown on it especially in jobs like security in high security areas - which may seem boring if they are doing their job well, and stopping people who may otherwise be tempted to trespass or steal, if buildings were not monitored.
