Social Geeking

The use of social media (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.) to obsess about intellectual ideas/theories, books, people, and/or other academic curiosities.

You can tell she's been social geeking, I just saw that she "liked" Henry Giroux, the critical theorist, on Facebook.

Social Trap

A Social Trap is where someone uses another persons decency against them, generally to make them do something they'd rather not. They can start as an open invitation or request to do something that someone would not normally do, if they refuse they risk being uncharacteristically rude or impolite, or they continue. While not entirely unlike peer pressure Social Traps rely more on the finesse of landing the target in the trap, whether this be through carefully calculated subterfuge or dumb-luck. This makes them more similar to plain manipulation or a lower-stakes ultimatum, however instead of choosing A or B they are slightly more geared towards the etiquette and standards of the target.

"Dude what happened? I left you and Lucy alone for 10 minutes and I come back to you watching this."
"I didn't want to watch it, if I had refused it would've been rude."
"Yeah right, bet you enjoyed."
No I really didn't . She totally caught me in a Social Trap."

Socially upgrade

Someone socially upgrades when after being single, especially for a long time, gets involved in a serious relationship or marries. They stop hanging with the old crew because they now spend time with other couples only.

Keep in mind, this is a broad term that encompasses anyone from the guy who you used to chill with A LOT and now you don't see AT ALL, to someone you still chill with, but they treat you differently because they're with someone and you're not.

Carl: guys, what happened to John? We never see him anymore!
Paul: he socially upgraded. He and his wife only do dinners with other married couples now!
Carl: yeah, we def won't be seeing much of him anymore..
