Onlame

The pathetic state of desperately seeking validation through embarrassingly try-hard online behavior. Describes someone who has completely lost the plot on social media, posting cringe-worthy content while thinking they're absolutely brilliant.

Origin: Fusion of "online" and "lame," coined circa 2022 when people realized social media had evolved from sharing life moments to manufacturing them. Primarily used by Gen Z and millennials who are self-aware enough to recognize the behavior but definitely still guilty of it themselves.
Example 1: "Did you see Gary's 15-part thread explaining why his fantasy football team would've won if the ref hadn't been 'biased'? Proper onlame behavior, that."

Example 2: "She spent four hours staging a 'casual breakfast' photo with her laptop open to a spreadsheet just to look productive. Absolutely onlame, innit?"

Example 3: "He's been refreshing his likes every 30 seconds since posting that selfie. Man's gone full onlame."

Oblamer

Radical right-wingers who try to blame Obama for every conceivable problem that comes along
Oblamer:"The NSA collecting personal data like our phone records is bullshit I hate Obama for creating the Patriot Act. "
Intelligent Person:"Excuse me the Patriot Act was created by the Bush Administration."

Oblamer:"Deficit spending is out of control because of Obama"
Intelligent Person:"When Bill Clinton left office we had a record budget surplus Bush turned it into a record deficit, every year since Obama has been in office annual deficits have actually decreased."

Oblamer:"Obamacare is going to cause an increase in the number of abortions."
Intelligent person: "Actually since the Affordable Care Act insures everybody has access to things like birth control and prenatal care it has actually reduced the number of abortions."

Oblamer

Nickname for president Obama that came about later in his first term, when he shifted away from the inspirational rhetoric of his first presidential campaign and started blaming a multitude of other people or groups for his administration's failures and the country's problems when questioned, instead of taking responsibility like a real leader should. Blame for others came both directly from Obama and from his spokesman, Jay Carney.

Initially, the blame for failures under the Obama administration was directed toward the previous administration (Bush). The blame game reached new heights in Obama's second term when, during the partial government shutdown of late 2013, the president said repeatedly that he would not negotiate with other elected officials, and continued to place all of the blame and responsibility for the shutdown on others (notably, Republicans in congress), even resorting to highly inflammatory rhetoric. The administration was able to get most of the media (directly or indirectly) to go along with this story line. The Obama administration subsequently made many eye-raising decisions about what to keep up open versus what to close from the general public during the shutdown; these decisions appeared to be made to make the American people "feel the pain" of the shutdown who would have otherwise not noticed, and drum up anger and blame toward congress.
"Well, it's his second term and the economy is crawling, unemployment is still over 7%, almost all of the new jobs are part-time jobs, food stamp recipients are at an all-time high, poverty is up, incomes are down, no one is leading in Washington, there's no budget, and foreign terrorist moochers are blowing people up at marathons right here at home. Yet, Oblamer is still blaming this on Bush and others. Jay Carney says go ask someone else. Remember when Oblamer said the attack in Benghazi was because of a YouTube video? Seriously. Who will Oblamer say is responsible for the healthcare.gov website not working, his new boogeyman the Tea Party?"
