trash can socialism

The belief that the communal trash can capacity is to be distributed according to the need of each individual in that community.

Trudi: Our trash can is full.

Eric: I'll just toss it in the neighbor's.

Trudi: Is that the right thing to do?

Eric: Yes, it's trash can socialism!

social distancing chicken

When people walking toward each other on a sidewalk deliberately refuse to alter their paths in a game of chicken, usually resulting in one party stepping aside at the last minute to avoid violating social distancing boundaries.

When our eyes met from behind our masks, I knew we were about to play social distancing chicken.

social justice voyeur

A person who believes theyโ€™re advancing social justice by liking and sharing things on social media.

My aunt Pattie is such a social justice voyeur. She shared that video of a black kid being shot by a policeman on Facebook, but sheโ€™s never been to a rally, and she doesnโ€™t vote.

social dead end

Also known as SDE for short.

A person (usually a guy) who either a) has no friends, or b) shields his friends from others all the time. If you meet one of these people, you won't be making any "friends of friends" through them anytime soon, no matter how hard you try or how many years pass. If the SDE is dating someone steadily, you won't even know her name until after they break up.

A SDE will especially shield contacts of the opposite sex, even if they have no chance with them, for fear their friends will "steal their girl/guy". If they're in a steady relationship, they still shield because a) they're still afraid someone (including you) will try to steal her/him away, or b) the SO is nothing to be proud of (ie a fugly ditch pig or pork chop). When a SDE brings out a contact of the opposite sex, it's almost always an ex, or someone he/she tried and failed to get with. Meanwhile, the SDE will have no problem asking you to introduce more girls/guys to him/her regularly. If you do it's a one-way street.

If you are stuck in a social circle full of SDEs, you must find some non-SDEs on your own, as your friends sure as hell won't be helping in this department.

Engineers and Computer Programmers come to mind.

Ted left all those SDE engineers after grad, and last time he checked they were all still hanging out and dating in the same incestuous pool called "ultimate".

After knowing Vic for 4 years, Sam only knew of some girls he tried to get with, but not by name. At that point Sam realized he'd wasted 4 years of his life hanging with a social dead end.

Social Media Stalker

A virtual contact, friend, colleague or passive connection that join all your social networks (Facebook, Myspace, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Digg, Stumbleupon and Google+) and comments, likes, plus one or shares all your posts regardless of rhyme or reason.

These individuals are every where you turn and tend to be individuals you have never met before. They formulate opinions based on everything in your life. They begin to live vicariously through you.

Be careful

My social media stalker has commented on my last ten Google + posts and the last 15 posts on Facebook.

anti-social media

n. Communication channels favoured by the aged, and those that don't want to be "part of the conversation".

.....................................................................................

Dude! You got to get on the Twitter! You can totally get fake updates from celebrities and find out what all your cool friends are wasting their lives doing in "real time"!

No thanks. I'm kind of into the anti-social media. I have some Dickens I want to read before I have my evening gruel. And is there some other type of "time"?
