New Facebook Terms You Should Know

By on Feb 8, 2010 in Daily Distractions, News | 6 Comments

“Commental Error”

This is when a Facebook rookie or clueless user makes a completely off-topic comment on your post thread instead of posting directly on your wall or sending you a message.

“Misguided Missive”

The king of newbie mistakes, inadvertently “posting” (publicly) on someone’s wall instead of sending them a “message” (privately).

“Disapostment”

One of the best things about Facebook is posting something and having people comment on it, hopefully in a positive light. When you see that beautiful tiny red notification beacon of back-patting light up with a number in the bottom right corner of your screen, you immediately become excited!

” Awesome, someone must have LOVED  my latest clever post! Who could it be? I’m so excited!… Let’s take a look… NO!!!!!!!!”

Disappointment, or as we now say, disapostment,  quickly sets in as you read the notification and it does not pertain to your post! Instead it’s a comment from some lame-o stranger (or a stepfriend) who also commented on some friend’s dumb movie quote you “liked” five weeks ago and forgot about.

“Dammit!! No more ‘liking’ stuff or commenting! Ever!!! It’s all about me!”

“Chattack”

You’re having a lovely evening drinking some wine, checking in with the old Facebook, seeing who’s up to what… having some giggles, looking at some old funny photos and…

BLOOOP! [Chat Window opens]

AGHH! Chat Attack!!!

Nooooooo! Shocked and dismayed, you immediately close Facebook without replying… and then close the browser window… and then shut off the computer and tip toe away from your desk being as quiet as you can. Shhhh!  (Why quietly? Facebook Chat can hear you!)

“Suggestshuns”

Facebook and other friends often suggest people you should be friends with. When you receive these Friend Suggestions, remember, the “Ignore” button is a very handy tool.
