Pitty Like 

Liking a status comment, picture comment or wall post that someone has posted on your facebook, Not because you agree with the comment, find it funny or actually like it but because you feel sorry for the person who posted it.

You may feel like replying to the comment would make you look as pittiful as them, but not replying will make you look like a douche, so you 'like' it to save face.

You can also use a pitty like if someone asks you something you dont want to answer, See example two.

Not to be confused with Envy liking

Example 1:

Guy 1: Man kyle left a really unfunny comment on my status about how the BAFTAS are a total set up, it was too lame.

Guy 2: Aw, Dont reply man, give him a pitty like, that guys the fucking anti poon.

Example 2

Your status: Just in town, Can't wait to get some food!

user comment: Hey where abouts in town are you?, I'm about and kinda hungry..
You like this Comment (Y)

Pity Like

Looking at the newsfeed on Facebook and coming accross a status update where the writer is welcoming likes or comments but no-one does. Therefore 'liking' the status, not because you actually like it but more that you sympathise with its creator.

Penelope: "Dude, did you see Karen's last status update on Facebook...?"

Patty: "Yeah it was not funny at all, what was she thinking?"

Penelope "I have no idea, I felt so bad for her though so I pity liked"

Liking someones status, not because you actually like it, but because you could tell that the person tried hard to write it and expects people to like it.

Meh, that status is kinda lame, but I could tell that Sally thought it sounded really cool when she wrote it. I'll just pity like it.

What you do on any social media platform when any post has so many dislikes that you want to give it a like out of pity.

His attempt at a satirical video got so many dislikes that I decided to give a pity like"

pity like

When you like someone's status/picture on FaceBook because they're 1) trying too hard, 2) desperate for attention, or 3) just weird and you want to be the one they save when they come to school with a sawed off shotgun.

Person 1: Dude, did you see Kayla's status she posted last night?

Person 2: Yeah, it was so dumb I had to give it a pity like.

pity-like 

The act of "liking" a friend's status on Facebook because no one else has liked their status.

Sounds like the perfect time for a pity-like.
