wikinoument

The part after a movie's over when you read its wikipedia entry to look up random trivia or plot details you might have missed.

ex1: Man, the wikinoument for Eraserhead was amazing. I had no idea that George Lucas asked David Lynch to direct the first Star Wars.

ex2: I don't feel fully satisfied with a movie until the wikinoument. That's when I find relevant backstory or interesting things that happened in pre-production.

holiday friends

I don't remember the last time I saw Jessica. I think it was on Fat Tuesday, or wait, was it on Memorial Day? Nah, maybe it was New Years? I'm not sure, maybe all of them, I guess we're holiday friends.

status stalker

Someone who only reads your facebook status updates or tweets, but doesn't actually reach out and talk to you.

When I met Jimmy in real life, the first thing he mentioned was something I tweeted about. He's such a status stalker, why doesn't he just send me a message or something??

social location fraud

Dude, how did this guy become the Mayor of the North Pole?? That's some social location fraud right there.
