Flakebooking

A self-deprecating Facebook status update, intentionally posted to brag, while still appearing humble.

Flakebookers are insecure about bragging, because they know it is tasteless. They have a deep need to be validated by others, but must do it in a sly, undercover sort of way.

"I am so ugly!" Says disgustingly pretty girl in a desperate urge to Flakebook.

"My new TV takes up my whole living room! *sadface*"
Oh ya Seth is flakebooking again. He starts fishing for compliments as soon as he feels bad about himself. It's just his way of coping with his not-so-perfect life.

fishbooking

A Facebook status update intended to acquire compliments and positive feedback from others. People who do this usually do not know very many ways to get noticed by others. Similar to Flakebooking, except bragging is very obvious.

Shane: "Hates waiting in airport lines for CUBA!!! I am so tired!"

Joanna: "I am sick AGAIN! What did I do to deserve this!"

People love fishbooking to boost their confidence when they feel down. Too bad they don't realize it's a false sense of self-assurance.
