To fall victim in a case of mistaken identity, especially on social media. Similar to Matthew Gertz receiving a lot of backlash after reporting of Matt Gaetz and his alleged Venmo excursions.

I was gertzed at Waffle House by my girlfriend when I went to the restroom; I wish I had known so I could have treated myself to extra bacon with breakfast. #sugarmama

A mythological creature. The Big Foot of modern times, it is said that when the aroma of burnt seeds and stems are in the air it is only a matter of time before this beautiful creature will appear from the depths of a local forest or marsh land. Practice extreme caution when this mythological beast does its mating ritual, he(she?!) will serenade you with the wymsical movements of a young Ellroy Jetson. (Researchers have coined the term "Jetson's Dance" for this phenomenom.) Do not feed this creature after midnight, and do not get it wet.

A malformed, almost grinch-like, hairless man with a severe intellectual deficiency. Often mistaken for a homeless person.
Person 1: Poor weird looking little man seems to be homeless and in need of help.
Person 2: I don't think he's homeless, probably just a gertz.
