SNAGM

Social
Networking
Attention
Grab
Message

The types of messages put up on Facebook, MySpace, etc. by people craving attention.

You see SNAGMs every day from people that want your attention but are too proud to ask for it directly, so they travel an annoying route to grab you but all you really wanna do is ignore them.

Jimmy Smalls posts a SNAGM on almost a daily basis. No one has hung out with him lately (probably cos his feet stink and his parents never have anything to eat in the fridge). Instead of dialing, texting or visiting a friend, he takes his woe to Facebook in the form of sympathy-seeking status updates such as:

Jimmy Smalls is swimming in a sea of sorrow.

Jimmy Smalls hates being Jimmy Smalls.

Jimmy Smalls is thinking about playing some Russian Roulette.

You get the idea! As you can see, Jimmy seems to be climbing a downward spiral. However, if Jimmy really wanted to do any harm to himself, he wouldn't post a warning on Facebook. Jimmy is just craving attention and there are plenty of Jimmys out there.
