facecrime

Noun, using someone else's facebook account while they are away, to write something embarrassing or silly.

The meaning is different, but the word is from George Orwell's 1984. "To wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime"

A less-wrong alternative to frape.

the best package to be the red Dilly that's over there in Carrollton. That's if l happened to be *constabulating* like y'all.'

(Constabulating = continuous form of constabulate, an intransitive, dynamic verb)
