facebook tourettes

Refers to the phenomenon of posting random, usually meaningless, status updates multiple times daily. Often comes via the blackberry or iPhone. Clutters up the newsfeed. The sufferers of tourettes are known to post many times an hour. Likely the reason for the 'hide' feature.

A moment in which you have no control over what you say on the social-networking site Facebook. Generally, this indescretion is only for a moment- just long enough to say something stupid on a friend's wall. Or, if you're an idiot with no sense of shame, these Facebook Tourette's "attacks" may last for hours, even days, on end. These attacks are not limited to Facebook, and may happen on any site where users can comment or write statements.

When one accidentally clicks 'post' two or three times in quick succession whilst responding to a facebook status update, thus resulting in a number of exact simultaneous comments being posted; with a final post of anger and frustration ending your comments.

An increasingly common condition already afflicting hundreds of thousands worldwide, Facebook Tourette’s renders its victims incapable of discerning the appropriateness of public posts on Facebook. Victims feel compelled to post every detail of the minutia of their lives on the social networking site for everyone to read. In addition, they feel as though they are required to respond to the posts of others, no matter how mundane their responses may be.
If left untreated, Facebook Tourette’s can eventually morph into a full-blown version, whereby its victims feel obliged to share private details about their lives, leading to a host of potentially mortifying revelations shared freely with the entire world.

When someone gets so pissed off that they forget that their parents/teachers/bosses can see what they say and go on a swearing binge that usually takes place in comment threads on a wall post or status. At its worst, Facebook Tourette's dissolves into a shapeless, embarrassing deluge of profanity that lacks any semblance of grammar.

To curse or say something derrogatory towards a person or a post on Facebook upon seeing it/them.

Where a person randomly exclaims (normally in capitals) something bitchy about a person or a group of people on their social network status and then wont tell commenters anymore because that would give away the people that they were bitching about and why the were bitching about them in the first place.

Eventually ending up in the person sending a private message to the commenter.
