A person's sudden tendency to purposely and deliberately do something awkward, cringy, or weird (but not harmful) in front of other people (usually strangers or people they don't know well), with the intent of being amused or entertained by their followed reactions.
John: *Gives a thumbs up to a random stranger he knows he had never seen before, then chuckles at their weirded-face reaction*
Jake (John's friend): "Again with your Social Strokes dude! If you don't care about your social image I do jeez! Just stop it!"
John: "Ahahahahahah! Sorry dude I just had to see his reaction I don't know what happened to me XD"
Jake: "It's called a Social Stroke... You always have them... And always when I'M WITH YOU!"
