Facefishing 

An open-ended, brief Facebook status post, often 1-2 words -- such as "hmmm" or "is" -- that is merely bait, intended to solicit quick bites or responses from your audience pool.
FaceFishing post: Hmmmmm...

Biter #1: What is 'Things that make you go...'? I'll take Alphabet Soup for $400.

Biter #2: WTF? You are clearly fishing for comments with an open-ended "hmmmmm."

Biter #1 again: Maybe he's referring to a hummer received last night...or a tasty treat...not sure? Let's ask...
