Like Envy 

the jealousy-triggered condition from which other Facebook friends suffer when comparing their own paltry number of "Likes" on a status update with someone else's, posted by a person who consistently reaps "Likes" by the dozens.
Jimmie: Holy crap! Did you see how many "Likes" Jill got with her status update about her amazing landscaping skills?

David: No! I'm still reeling over how many she got when she posted a picture of her sneakers!

Adam: Guys, guys. Just listen to us here. What have we become? We have a full blown case of Like Envy.

Amy: Homos!

Jill: Hahahahaha

Your favorite words on things you can wear, drink from, read, or give to a friend.
The Urban Dictionary Store sells gifts you’ll have to explain.
When you like someones status comment, picture comment or wall post on you're facebook.

You don't do it just because you like the post or comment but because you envy it so much you can't think of anything better to comment.
for example if their joke is too funny and you can't top it, instead of trying a comment back you just like their comment, to save perhaps embaressing yourself or wrecking their comment or post.

Other examples are when theirs no need for a comment and you're just showing you're envy of their facebook comment or post. this can be on your facebook or someone elses, see example 2.

Not to be confused with a Pitty Like
Your status: Just watched the 40 year old virgin, it was fucking great.

Mark's comment: Awh man i I love that movie
You're comment: You know how i know you're gay?
Mark's comment: Because you're gay and can tell who else is gay?
*You like this comment*

Dude1: Man mark tottaly got me in my status about that new Judd Apatow movie, I had to give him an Envy Like.

Dude2: Yeah I seen that, it was a clear envy like, that could be embaressing if you guys werent good friends..

Example 2

Craig's status: Just had amazing pizza, weed and sex with my girlfriend multiple times on each front.
*You like this status*
