ghostworking 

Employees pretending or faking to work just to get through the work day. Can be at home or in the office. In some cases the employee is actually working on their resume or talking to a recruiter from another business, but not for the business they are working for.
Students often try to find a ghostworking job so they can study, or write their novel. But most employers frown on it especially in jobs like security in high security areas - which may seem boring if they are doing their job well, and stopping people who may otherwise be tempted to trespass or steal, if buildings were not monitored.

Ghostwarding

(v.) when one places themself in a dangerous situation in hopes that a person they have romantic feelings in will come and save them.

Like in the second Twilight movie when Bella keeps doing stuff so she can see the ghost of Edward, or whatever that was.
“I don’t get why she keeps going out to parties alone, without any friends. It’s really dangerous.”
“Dude she’s ghostwarding you”

“Can you believe he got himself a motorcycle and is taking it on the highway? He doesn’t even have a permit yet.”
“That’s because he’s ghostwarding you”

Ghostwalking 

Ghostwalking is the common phenomena of non-White people pretending to be White on the internet in order to get away with Anglophobia or to infiltrate White circles. A person who does this is referred to as a, "ghostwalker."

"Ghost" refers to the color that ghosts are - white - as well as the fact that ghosts only come out at night, an allusion to darkness. "Walking" refers to the way they try to normally pass off as being White.
(In an online chat forum) Ghostwalking:

Person 1: "Hello my fellow White men, I think us White's are evil!"
Person 2: "What? Skincheck!"

Person 1: "No, no, you don't get it, I am part Italian!"
Person 2: "Okay, ghostwalker!"

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
