When someone imitates or impersonates another person (real or made-up person), namely on social media, just to
spy on their
crush, an estranged relative, past
friend(s) and other sorts of people, either to see what they're up to or to
lust over them. To put it simply, if you create a fake account to spy on a few people, you're a Mad Eye Moody Eye.
This is based on the Harry Potter character Moody Eye in The Goblet of Fire, who was actually Barty Crouch Jnr impersonating him to spy on Potter and see what he is up to.
- My
ex left me and married another. How should I catch up on him on social media when his profile is private? :(
- Just make a fake account and pretend you're a local priest or some
politician from his favourite party and add him, hon.

Oh, that's a good idea. Very Mad Eye Moody, huh? :P
