The Internet Hyena's Grasp 

The definition of either:

1) The Internet overinflating a trifle and milking it for every last ounce of content
2) Everyone and their gramma taking a current event and making a video about it

The word comes from the YouTuber W3TB who compares these actions to Hyenas ganging up on weak animals for food.

Hunter's First Law of the Internet

Within 10 minutes of any online forum exchange, some twat will always write "Don't feed the troll".

The twat in question is always either:

1) Some silly old turd who has been using the Internet since 1993 and thinks there are still only about 12 people on it.

2) Some clueless middle-class mum with too much time on her hands and to whom everyone else in the world (apart from her children, Jake and Florence) is a "troll".
SeanHunter: "I think the constant rolling news format of the TV media tends to turn serious cases like the McCann kidnapping or the Venables prison recall into circuses...."

Twat: "Don't feed the troll, people"

SeanHunter: "Ah there it is... Hunter's First Law of the Internet. And in record time, you twat."

Girl on the Internet Syndrome 

An affliction that causes some female internet users to play the sexpot or drama queen once they figure out that they are practically the only girls at a forum. Sufferers will make nonstop flirty comments , continually bring up their bra size, and make fellatio jokes. Inevitably, a male member will go too far and offend the girl (typically by asking for nude pics or sexual services), leading to much online outrage and drama.
Rob: PinkGoddess has posted three times that she's wearing a thong today.

Jason: it sounds like someone has a bad case of Girl on the Internet Syndrome.
