Used when an action got social credit, but there was nothing behind it, either because of deception or luck.
Example 1: Jesse suggests to Billie that they should meet up tonight, even though Jesse secretly knows that Billie is busy and cannot meet. Jesse then *acts* (hence, 'Hamlet') very bummed, lamenting how on how much he misses Billie and that they should meet up already.
Example 2: Todd does not want to hang with David as planned, but reluctantly calls him to check where they are meeting up. David apologises profusely and explains that something has come up and he cannot meet. Todd, being and/or pulling a Hamlet, acts very disappointed and explains that he was so looking forward to it.

"HA! i really didn't wanna go out but i had a date with X setup so i called to cancel but before i could X said he/she was feeling a bit bad and wants to cancel, so i gave X shit about it and said how much i was looking forward to it. What a great Hamlet!

A small unit of ham, usually a leg, made from genetically altered dwarf pigs, the legs of which are about the same size as that of a chicken's. Eaten in Shakespearean times from suckling pigs, currently a booming market overseas, especially in China.
