Marching meme

A contrived political message or theme designed to inspire or reinforce a blind adherence to a party or idea, often with a cynical awareness that professional and amateur followers and pundits will relentlessly repeat it throughout the Internet and mass media echo chambers with a nearly syncopated precision.

The talk show host knew that by pounding the table and screaming "we must take our government back," he was reissuing a marching meme that had inspired his many sycophantic followers in the past.

Streamer

A member, participant or onlooker, sometimes called a friend or follower, in an online user's social media community. Such communities are often seen and referred to as a 'stream' of people and information flowing by. If they are frequently seen in the stream, and considered in good standing, the streamer might be additionally labeled a citizen of the stream—or "streamizen."

They met on AOL, and Roxann followed him to Twitter. She was one of a few of his streamers who became a trusted friend.

Corperica

Corporation + America

A shorter and more candid name for the corpocracy formerly known as the United State of America, prior to the Supreme Court's infamous "Citizen's United vs. FEC" decision.

As a citizen of Corperica, I am forced to accept that the rights of corporations are equal to mine as an individual.

Foxbaggers

Fox News + Teabaggers

People who subscribe to the tenets, postures and propaganda of the Republican Party, or its far-right populist Teabagger wing, which have both become malleable tools of the Fox News Channel and the many concorporative interests it often speaks or acts on behalf of.

Created in 2010 by @Shoq as a twitter #hastag, "Foxbaggers" merged many competing terms, all referring to the same far right-wing constituencies. Rather than call them Wingnuts, Hatriots, Populists, Foxbots, Fauxbots, Fox viewers, etc., it was far more efficient to use one simple label and tag, which could be used like this:

"James O'keefe" is just a Foxbagger pretending to be an investigative journalist so he can impress all the other Foxbaggers."

Ghost Dater

Someone that posts on Twitter, Facebook or other social network for the purpose of coming on to someone romantically on behalf of someone else—often for money.

The Ghost Dater presumably knows better how to engage, intrigue, flirt, or otherwise attract a prospective date than the hopeless loser they are hired by.

FakeDonJuan69 wanted to become a professional Ghost Dater so he could make a bundle coming on to women on behalf of guys whom they normally wouldn't be caught dead with.

Douchebeck

A twitter hash tag used on 8/28/2010 to commemorate Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the Washington mall.

Most often, but not exclusively used by his detractors, and a few insightful Republicans.

The #douchebeck claimed that he wasn't promoting a book, but was "restoring America's honor." Few understood what he meant.
