Postjacking 

When someone comments on a Facebook post such as a wallpost, status update, or anything else in an attempt to bring in another conversation and divert attention away from the post and toward themselves.
Jason posted on Marie's Wall:
"Hey...how have you been?"
Jack commented on Jason's wall post:
"JASON! Why didn't you text me back?"

And Jason and Jack have a conversation on the wall post that was meant to be for Marie, and thus Jack postjacked the conversation. Postjacking can also occur in status updates, but it most common on wall posts.

postjacking 

"Postjacking" is when a couple or a few people take over a comment string, usually on Facebook, and subsequently take things in a whole different direction. This is not inherently a negative thing, as it can often be amusing to witness.
Sorry for postjacking your string, Dude! We'll let things get back on topic now.

podjacking

Ugh--this music sucks. I'm podjacking you.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
