lyric floating

The practice of regularly posting vague, obscure rhetorical lyrics to Facebook as status updates. Typically, such posts have neither quotation marks nor context to explain their relevance. As a result, readers may find them confusing, even failing to recognize them as lyrics at all.

if you don't don't know, why would you say so? would you mean this please if it happens?

Commenter #1:

um...huh? wtf are you talking about?

Commenter #2:

Oh, I think that's a line from some Jimmy Eat World song...just Jane lyric floating as usual. You can just ignore it; everyone else will.
