Get the vaguer mug.
Saying something vague on Facebook for attention. It's basically to get people to comment on your status or ask what's wrong. That's why it's a very attention whore like activity. However sometimes vaguerisms can indicate that they're posting about some one on their friends list and don't want to be obvious.
Susan Posts: Sometimes I just don't know anymore
Good Friend Posts: what's wrong/what happened.
Cynical Friend Posts: just say what's up this is such a Facebook Vaguerism!
Not limited to simple status, it can also involve hateful/depressed lyrics.
Susan Posts: I believe that lovers should be tied together thrown into the ocean on the worst of weather.
Good Friend: omg what happened?
Cynical Friend: Cut the Vaguerisms! just tell us what's up instead of posting some dumb sh*t on facebook.
Susan Posts: Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads... and you can think of me when you forget your seat belt.
Dumb Friend: Omg I love Brand New!
Good Friend: Who could you possibly hate this much? Please call me.

Many politicians are so mealy-mouthed and wishy-washy about finding actual solutions or making tangible progress that they should be charged with vaguerancy!
