Unlike "Social Networking" which would imply "work" or "networking" is being done, Social Netsheeping is an odd "follow the leader" phenomenon, sometimes called a "status game" that occurs on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites where people post instructions to post something specific in their user status (their bra or underwear color, the definition of their first name, the name of the first person they kissed, an excerpt from a certain page in the book nearest them at the moment, a coded message, phrase or number, etc..) or change their profile picture (to a baby pic or pet pic or hero or look-a-like celebrity) for no apparent reason other than, "everyone else is doing it."
Sometimes these requests ask that you copy the post and do something specific or unique to you, sometimes they ask you to post a coded message, like an inside joke, a dollar total derived from a list of illicit acts that are assigned specific values or a silly phrase that is made up from portions of text that are pieced together from a list using your date of birth or letters in your name.
The act of re-positng the request and/or complying with these given instruction or essentially, following the leader, is netsheeping or more formally, social netsheeping.
"OMG! I am so tired of all this social netsheeping! These people need to get a life!"
An example of a social netsheeping "game" or code would be a message sent instructing friends to post a phrase (without any explanation) in their facebook status, that is derived from a code:
In one example, a person wearing a black shirt, born on Jan 1, xxx0 would post, "I kicked a birdbath in your bathroom because that's how I roll!"
Search "current Facebook status game" or "I kicked a banana in your car because I'm cool like that" for more examples or actual codes used.

The opposite of a sausage party. A gathering of people in which the number of females, preferably hot ones, is significantly higher than the number of males. Hence, a social event with a lot of box.
"So what did you do for Doug's birthday?"
"We went to 35 Beaver St. It was a total box social!"

One that cannot function socially. Not retarded, but rather incapable of interacting socially for several reasons. Immaturity, spitefulness, emotional scars, etc.
My sister dropped out of school at an early age, missed formidable social growth and now at the age of 40 acts like she's 15.
My youngest brother always got what he wanted and threw a fit when he didn't. Now that he is an adult he still acts the same way even around strangers.
Social Retards!

Social skills-
A term that loosely means the ability to navigate social situations/social networks as fitting one's needs. However, the phrase, when used, covers an umbrella of different factors and skills. These include, but are not limited to, the ability to feel at ease in social situations or make those around you feel at ease, the ability to relate to those around you, the ability to converse fluidly, or the ability to grasp social "rituals" (such as what to do or say in certain situations). It is a very broad term that in and of itself has minimal literal definition, but is commonly used as an insult. Examples:
"Dude, how could you say that to her! Learn some fucking social skills!"
or
"I hear that guy's smart, but I bet he has really bad social skills."
It is usually taken as a given that the greater a person's intelligence, the worse their "social skills". However, this is contested, as intelligent people are often better at manipulating those around them, and are likely to have a better "theory of mind"- which means the ability to figure out what is going on in the heads of other people. (Which is a separate skill itself).
A star football player may have great "social skills" among his teammates and fans, but might become very awkward around a group of research scientists, authors, or professional dancers.
"Social skills", like "emotional intelligence", is a word often thrown around with no one stopping to figure out what it actually means.

Noun: A person that generally conforms to the practice of vegetarianism, but will consume animal products in the company of meat eaters.
This compromise is often born of convenience or social pressure. Male vegetarians may experience lapses into social omnivorism to appear masculine in a testosterone-soaked atmosphere.
Dude 1: The Rangers are killing the Celtics. Fuck my life. You want some pizza?
Dude 2: Sure. Any veggie lover's?
Dude 1: Any nuts in your jocks? We've got pepperoni, Hawaiian, and meat lover's. Wooo!
Dude 2: ... I'll take Hawaiian.
Girl: Haven't you been a veg since you were like, 12?
Dude 1: Bro's a social omnivore.
Dude 2: Go Celtics.

1. the stimulation or manipulation of one's own ego for self-gratification, through the use of online social networking media
2. self-gratification by (i) maintaining a presence within online social networks and (ii) believing that having online "friends" or "followers" means you are actually popular
Social netwanking was his favorite pastime, so Jim didn't believe that playing with yourself on facebook can make you go blind until it was too late...
