"Spectating" or "social spectating" is stalking people on social websites (MySpace, FaceBook, etc). This term is less harsh than the word "stalking".

Spectator is a commonly used term to describe the 'odd sheep in the pen' in regards to women and their associates. In other words the 'fatter' of the friends, one who doesn't look after personal figure, the girl who goes and watches her 'fitter' friends play sport, whilst sitting on the side line eating a pie.
1. "Mate, why did you have to bring the spectator back to ours last night?"

2. "Mate the only way i was going to root the amazing one was if the ugly friend came along"

1. "fair enough then ya pol cat."

Now-defunct East Bay adult newspaper, originally part of the 'Berkeley Barb' but spun off as an independent weekly in 1978. Ceased publication in 2005. One of the first publications anywhere to print sex-worker advertising. For the last 10 years or so of its life, the weekly 'Spectator' ad was a regular business expense for many Bay Area pimps. Receives a mention in 'Hey Girl' from The Team's 2002 CD, 'Beyond the Glory.' Often called the 'Espectator' by Bay Area TV or TG escorts.
