FPO

"For Position Only"

1) In the graphic design world, these three letters are usually written large (and possibly in red letters to call attention to them) on a photo, illustration etc. that will be replaced with the actual one at a later time. Used in creating graphic design concepts when the designer does not have all of the artwork yet.

2) An object, possession, or anything else that will eventually be replaced with a nicer version very soon.

1) John: "Dude...I didn't know that Evangeline Lilly was the spokesperson for that new Kia Sedona ad you're working on."

John: "Oh. Right."

2) Diann: "Did I see you driving your mom's 10 year old mini-van?"

facebonding

When more than two people are sitting in the same area (typically at a table), logged onto Facebook or equivalent social network sites, but are not totally consumed with the computer. A mixture of talking and typing is heard...a combination of "Facebook" and "bonding".

Shep: What are you doing tonight? You wanna see a movie?
Grace: Can't. After dinner, I'm going to Phoenix Coffee with Catja and Elena for a little facebonding. They both got new laptops.
