Tag Group

A Facebook group that exists mainly for the purpose of tagging it in a discussion thread as a form of meme communication.

For example, one of the earliest Tag Groups on Facebook was, 'This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure", which was born from the phenomenon of people who found it necessary to write a post about how they were mad and leaving a group. At which point, someone in the thread who knew about the tag group would put it on the discussion, prompting a laugh.

When you tag a group like that, Facebook puts the name of the group in bold, thus emphasizing its visual impact.

Therefore, users have added thousands and thousands of hilariously specific phrases as groups to the platform, giving the user lots of options of things to say in bold characters.

The bold name of the group is also a clickable link that takes you to the group, prompting more members and thus more taggers.

As mentioned before, the tag group mainly exists as a means for creating highlighted text in a discussion thread, however, some tag groups do become places of activity themselves.

For example, with "This is not an airport...", members who join the group will use it as a tag group, but then also screenshot hilarious examples of people rage-quitting other groups, and add it to the discussion timeline in the group for other members to enjoy and laugh at.

Tag group

A Facebook group with a name that can be used as a phrase when tagged, often used with comedic effect. Many of these groups exist solely for tagging. The most common group names use this template "sounds ____ but ok" where the blank can be filled with one word or a phrase.

Facebook taggroup addict

A Facebook taggroup addict is a person who becomes a fan of almost every single tag page that facebook has to offer. These individuals spend most of their time looking for pages that they closely associate with. These individuals believe that by becoming members of such pages, it reflects their personality.

Another reason Facebook taggroup addict might join such groups is because the group page may contain a humorous picture. However, most of these groups on facebook require that a user first become a member in order to see the content. Human curiosity will take over the tag-addict, so they will almost inevitably join the group in order to see the content.

A Facebook taggroup addict is easy to spot.

There are no known cures for Facebook taggroup addiction. The best a group-addict can do is join enough pages to the point where facebook will not let them become a member of anymore groups. The current limit for groups that a single user can have is around 2000.
"Look at her, she's a member of 200+ taggroups, she must be a complete Facebook taggroup addict"
