Vague Post 

A post on social media that contains no context and remains unclear and confusing to most if not all of the readers. The OP (Original Poster) usually makes a Vague Post to gain attention by having people comment below to ask what the post is about. Vague Posts are usually best ignored. If you can't let it go, comment with "That's a vague post" and link to its definition on Urban Dictionary.

YOUR VAGUE POST FRIEND POSTS: "Well, I'm not doing THAT again."

YOU COMMENT: "Not doing *what* again?"
SOMEONE ELSE COMMENTS: "Are you okay?"
ANOTHER PERSON COMMENTS: "What happened?"
YOUR VAGUE POST FRIEND REPLIES HOURS LATER: "Ugh, it's not even worth getting into."

vagueposting

Making posts on social media that either

1. Give off a vague feeling of sadness or other emotional issues to prompt others into asking what's wrong and generally shower said poster with attention

2. Talk smack about someone without mentioning them

Two kinds of vagueposting you've probably seen before

1 .Person 1:"Just when you think you know people..."

Person 2: "Awwww is everything alright?"

Person 1: "I don't wanna talk about it"

2. Person: "Yeah you may have my man now but at least I didn't win him over with nudes lol bye bitch "

Everyone else reading the post: *thinking* We all know who you're talking about, girl

vague post 

A comment or statement that is made by someone on a social media site who's thinking is in a very tight dramatic circle. The post is very unclear and usually has no redeeming value to those who read it. However, the poster uses this tactic to build curiosity in his/her friends so they may inquire why the post was made. But the poster never responds or explains to why they made such a ridiculous comment..

friend's post: "the humidity has something to do with it!"
me: "what are you talking about?"
4or5 hours elapse with about 5 likes
me: "why make such a vague post?"

vaugeposting

A misspelling of vagueposting that either wasn't caught before the post was submitted, or wasn't a big enough deal in the poster's eyes to warrant fixing it. Rarely done intentionally.

"Okay seriously why are some people so mean and cruel????
#not vaugeposting #i'm just generally saying #tbh i never vaugepost #for the record"

vagueposting

The act of indirectly posting about someone or something without directly mentioning them or it.

Person 1: I saw what you posted on X last night, that was kind of weird. Who was it about?

Person 2: Oh, I really wanted to say something about how Erin was acting last night, but I don't want to confront her, so I'm just vagueposting about it.

Person 1: Yeah... vaguepost maxxing.

vagueposting

A form of engagement bait on social media. A user will post a specific opinion complaint, opinion or reference, while intentionally omitting critical context needed to actually join the conversation.

The goal is to frustrate readers and bait them into begging for context, looking up nonexistent drama, or flood the comment section with reaction images.

OP: I can't believe they actually included that scene in the new season. That's disgusting.

User 1: and the vagueposting king award goes to...
User 2: be a bit more specific twin
User 3: context pls
