Negbombing

The act of delivering bad news to manipulate someone into feeling bad, or to negatively impact their mood to achieve schadenfreude i.e personal gratification.

Akin to bullying or “negging” but in an impersonal way.

Ex1) Wow the weather forecast looks bad where you’re at, sucks for you.

Ex2) It looks like the construction on your street is gonna last 6 more months. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that.

Stacy is constantly negbombing me. Every day there’s something new for me to worry about.

Scott constantly negbombs the class about how terrible the test average is.

Legbombing

Using Photoshop or another photo-editing tool to place Angelina Jolie's exposed right leg from the 2012 Academy Awards into a photo.

Dude 1: Hey man, did you see @AngiesRightLeg has posted some legbombing pictures?
Dude 2: Yeah man, someone put Angelina's leg on the Statue of Liberty!

negbooking

She was negbooking all morning, saying things like, "I'm so pissed off at my mom" and "I'm going to punch a kitten in the throat."

Newsbombing

Much like Photobombing, it's one who invades a live breaking news report by doing the absolutely ridiculous things in the background or in front of the camera (i.e. dancing, holding a sign, standing beside the reporter)

Boy: WTF! Why is he doing the Orange Justice in the middle of a live report on A soccer match?!?
Girl: LOL! HE'S NEWSBOMBING!!!!

Begbombing 

A manipulative breakup tactic where someone deliberately acts overly desperate—crying, begging, pleading—during arguments, not from sincerity, but as a strategy to drive their partner away. It's emotional warfare masked as vulnerability. The goal: make the other person walk out first, so they can play the victim

He didn’t want to be the bad guy, so he started begbombing her—crying every fight, begging for her to stay, until she finally had enough and left
