Vaguebooking 

When one has feelings to share and takes to Facebook to do so. Instead of writing out what one actually needs to say, they write something cryptic that prompts others to ask "what's wrong." This is usually when the Vaguebooker replies with another Vaguebook reply such as "DM me" or "don't feel like talking about it." This will then prompt the inquirer to not give a shit.
Kelly had a bad week, so she took to Facebook to do some vaguebooking. "Really wish things turned out differently."

Vaguebook 

noun: An intentionally vague or one-worded status update, alluding to something else. This could be an inside joke, or anything meant for only a few people. More simply, it could be a plea for someone to comment. Such as "pointless", "frustrated", or any inside joke.

Vaugebooker 

A member of the social network Facebook who posts vauge and sometimes cryptic statuses on their wall. This is commonly used as a ploy to elicit comments from other fellow facebook users. This choice of ambiguity is often associated with one of the following:

1) Their status is something highly personal and just want some words of encouragement or endearment from their peers.

2) Their page has had little to no action in the past few days so they might as well put something that will get a response from someone since none of their other statuses have been appealing to anyone.

3) They have a pathological need for attention and as such are not able to function unless they find a way to get that attention.
OMG did you see Mary's status today? It said, 'Whats done is done. And thats all there is to it'. Do you know what see was talking about? She is being such a Vaugebooker!

Vaguebook 

To seek sympathy and/or attention by posting something vague as your Facebook status. Usually the only people who ask you "What's wrong??" are lonely stay-at-home moms who want some extra gossip. The rest of the free world does not give a shit and wish you would just suck it up and shut the fuck up.
VAGUEBOOK POST: "Some people just make me so mad!!"
READERS: "Oh, God...Samantha's Vaguebooking again. I wish she'd shut the fuck up..."

VAGUEBOOK POST: "I just LOVE being backstabbed! NOT!"
READERS: "Jennie, seriously...shut the fuck up and grow some balls."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
