Reaction 

the firm and visceral sense that modernity sucks, even though, by all rights, it should not; anti-revolution; anti-progressivism; usually triggered by observation of one or more of the following: women are less pleasant and/or men are wimpier than they should be, foreigners are everywhere they shouldn't be, mankind is getting stupider, the more democratic things are the more corrupt they seem to be, ugliness is everywhere and getting worse.
After recognizing the vapid status seeking of his "progressive" neighbors, the hopeless ignorance of the electorate, Bill decided to plant his feet on the side of The Reaction.

Reaction 

A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions! As discussed in Lesson 2, some forces result from contact interactions (normal, frictional, tensional, and applied forces are examples of contact forces) and other forces are the result of action-at-a-distance interactions (gravitational, electrical, and magnetic forces). According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Can't say I didn't see this coming 😛

reaction video 

Literally the stupidest thing to grace the Internet. Some attention starved asshole gets the bright idea to record his/her ugly face watching a YouTube vid or, god forbid, a 20-40 minute episode of something and expects us to sit there and watch them make facial expressions or some shit. It's literally watching a video of someone watching a video! Their face takes up 80% of the screen and the thing they're watching is usually miniature and in the corner. It's a pathetic fad that needs to die very very quickly. Newsflash people: NO ONE CARES WHAT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS YOU MAKE OR WHAT STUPID SOUNDS COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU WATCH SOMETHING!
Guy 1: Hey bro, have you seen this live reaction video of the new RWBY episode?
Guy 2: Uh, no, I'd rather watch the actual episode, not some guy's ugly face.

reaction status 

A reaction status is a Facebook status posted purely because the person posting it is aware that it will have a reaction (a large number of comments/likes)

A common 'reaction status' is seen after a popular TV show, when people post funny lines from the show knowing that people will be logging into Facebook shortly afterwards.
"How good is half term?" (obviously half term is good, but why would you say this for any other reason than to get a reaction? Reaction Status.)

"Remember when everyone used to have a Nokia 3310?" (The person posting this knows everyone had a 3310. They said so in their post. So why ask? Reaction Status.)

*any line from The Inbetweeners* (People posting these know large numbers of people watch The Inbetweeners, and often actually race to be the first to post a funny line, in order to secure the most comments/likes. Reaction Status.)

reaction picture

an image (typically that encases someone having a facial expression) that can be used to describe your feeling towards something. can also be a meme... usually are memes
friend texts you: “sorry can’t hang out tonight”
