A form of bait that operates as a social experiment designed to negatively target a specific social group—often a minority, vulnerable, or protected group—with the goal of ridiculing that group or "proving" something negative about them. Socialbait involves creating situations designed to elicit predictable responses from group members, then using those responses as "evidence" of the group's supposed flaws. A classic socialbait might pose as a friendly inquiry to a minority community, then screenshot the resulting conversations as proof of their "aggression" or "victim mentality." It might create fake profiles to infiltrate support groups, then publish private discussions as exposure of their "true nature." Socialbait is the weaponization of social science methodology: not to understand, but to destroy.
Example: "He created a fake account posing as someone seeking advice about transitioning, joined trans support groups, and documented every response. Weeks later, he published a thread: 'Proof that trans activists are predatory.' The screenshots showed only what he wanted to show; the context was omitted, the trust was betrayed. Socialbait had done its work: a community exposed, ridiculed, harmed—all in the name of 'research.'"

Get the East Omaha socialite mug.A very tight group of people who do everything in High School as a large group. Most of them have stayed together since Middle School, so any outsiders are not welcome.
While this group focuses a lot on the art of meaningless conversation, most of their social lives and daily planning revolves around Facebook or Myspace. That is where their stupid little fads or inside jokes start, and where they eventually are laid down to rest a week later, only to be revived by some dumbass during a lunch period 4 months later.
Also, over 2/3 of the group are usually girls, and will often back out of normal conversations with guys to have side conversations with their "girl friends". Don't worry if you observe this behavior, it is perfectly normal". They also claim to hate dating and boys, but they facebook fish on their statuses about a mysterious infatuation.
Despite all of this, not all of them are pompous assholes, and are more sociable and talkative as individuals rather than a large group. If you are lucky, they will accept you for who you are. But if you don't fit into their cookie cutter, they will cast you out, and you will join the rest of the kids who dislike them.
It's one of the most irritating High School groups, but it keeps the other annoying groups in check.

Get the socialite soccer mom mug.- 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.
