When one goes from being a "job seeker" on linkedin to being employed and wanting to show off to all your friends/colleagues through inviting them into your network.
Having minimal information on your profile and "in search of new career opportunity" to having a gratuitous amount of pages of text on a job you haven't even started yet.
Joe just had a linkedin explosion? Suddenly he thinks he's hot shit after landing that gig at BMW, he's adding everyone left and right bro.
Did you hear? Jill recently went from struggling liberal arts graduate to retail at Saks. She had a linkedin explosion and added our entire graduating class to brag about it through status updates.

The bottomless well of humble-brags and articles, memes, and stories that people incessantly and mindlessly share on LinkedIn - often from sources such as "Inc." or "Harvard Business Review" or some guy named Gary Vaynerchuk - and which address topics like leadership, empathy, and diversity and inclusion on an extremely superficial level.
I hate LinkedIn! I am so sick of seeing all this LinkedIn Porn with stupid quotes like "managers manage and leaders lead."

When someone solicits connections on "Linkedin" just to look like they have a bunch of friends. Trying to connect with people just to get a high number of "connections"
My friend will connect with anyone on Linkedin, she is a total Linkedin whore!

If you apply for a job or internship, and you get turned down, but the hiring manager or person you emailed offers to add you on LinkedIn, "for future reference". Akin to getting friendzoned, as you don't get what you wanted but the person is too nice to say no, so they offer a weak thing to make up for it.
"How'd that application go Joe?"
"Not great man, the HR rep told me I wasn't fit for the job, but she suggested we get connected on the job network site because she felt bad. I hate getting LinkedIn-zoned".
A LinkedIn Mom is a modern mom that networks on the web instead of the soccer field; updated version of the "soccer mom"
During a high school graduation ceremony this past weekend, Mrs. Anderson was graciously introduced as a "LinkedIn Mom" instead of a "soccer mom." Yes, the truth is often stunning to hear and she beamed with pride.

To connect with random strangers on linkedin, only to endorse each others' skills without any real conversation or background check.
Bob: Wow Alice, you have a lot of professional connections.
Alice: Naah, they are basically for linkedin quickie.
Discord servers are now the new red light areas for linkedin quickie
