An over-glorification of a school symphony band and/or marching band. Often frowned upon, generally disliked or absolutely hated by anyone that is not a part of the band because of the band members' air of superiority, weirdness, and overall annoyingness.
Guy 1: Dude, I hate those band geeks. They're so goddamn annoying.
Guy 2: Yeah, seriously. Our school is a total symphonism.
When two people are taking turns making awkward glances at each other but avoiding direct eye contact; Person 1 will look at Person 2, usually with a side-eye, until the Person 2 looks at Person 1, at which point Person 1 quickly looks away and the cycle starts over. The continuous back-and-forth resembles that of a game of ping-pong. Typically indicates some kind of tension between the two involved parties.
Guy 1: Dude, I saw my ex yesterday.
Guy 2: Yikes, how did that go?
Guy 1: It actually wasnât that awkward, but we were doing a lot of eyeball ping-pong. I wonder if thereâs still anything there.
Guy 2: There's not, youâre just an idiot.
A term for an adjacent phenomenon to ghosting, in which someone you have been interacting with through text or social media doesn't ignore you altogether, but instead takes 3 days to reply to you, and does it in perfunctory, monosyllabic fashion hoping that you'll get the drift and disappear for them.
Hey dude, howâs it going with you and Jennifer?
Not great. She only responds every couple days with one-word texts, I think sheâs ghostbaiting me.
