A social network "status posting" which blasts all its readers with a personal attack, used instead of a personal posting or inbox message to the intended receiver.
A shotgun status post, and its commentary looks something like:
Joan status:
I have decided.... I F^*&^ HATE YOU!!!!!!
Jan: Who me? what did I do.
Sue: No, I think she's mad at her mother.
John: I'm sorry... WTF is it this time?
Mum: You are barred from the computer for a week. How dare you air our dirty laundry in public.
Joan: Chill out everyone, I was talking about my cat. It ate my goldfish.
John: dirty laundry? Tell us more...
