Social Fast 

Being completely fed up with humanity and needing to take a break from all social interaction for a period of time.

After having lunch with my friends and listening to their incessant whining for three hours I will be embarking on a social fast.

socialfart 

- an unsanitized piece of real thought and feeling that somehow escapes our careful packaging. It floats around the room annoyingly, while everyone exchanges puzzled glances at the incongruous thread of truth that arrived unannounced and uninvited.

Title: We're Back!

Subtitle: (... wherein boomers start questioning everything again ...)

Pith: Like the incontinent seniors they will ultimately become, many baby boomers seem less capable now of holding back occasional bubbles of truth, which are now known by the neologism "SocialFarts".

Explanation: Though relatively well-behaved during their earning years, it has become clear that people in the boomer generation have not finished ranting about the state of the world and questioning the status quo. Many openly challenged the powers-that-be when they were young, and many more were too timid at the time to join them, but nonetheless shared their views - on war, sex, love, religion, government, school, work, and of course, parenting. Never fully domesticated in spirit, some inner part of them strains for release against the bonds of retirement security.

Consequences: The consequence is nothing short of the birth of a new quantum of truth - the SocialFart - a brief and unexpected stench of clarity superimposed on society's usual backdrop of denial and hypocrisy. Coughed up like a sound byte, tacked in bright colors on an office partition, or embroidered on the body as a cryptic graphic, the SocialFart promises to release into our already strained atmosphere whatever these grey-hairs have been brewing silently for the past four or five decades.

socialcast 

Socialcasting is the process by which news travels from first person witnesses to their friends, followers, or members of their network through social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.

Socialcasting may or may not occur simultaneously with other forms of mass communication such as television broadcasting.

Instead of relying on traditional sources, BBC news anchors are starting to turn to socialcasting to identify stories as they emerge.
