JamesENL

I went on a proper date with a boy who isn't going to ghost me because we did cadets together and he had a massive crush on me back in the day

so that's good

josilber

Nice!

PS your previous discussion of ghosting changed my mental definition of that word.

When I grew up, ghosting referred to ghost riding.

But I see it has taken on a meaning related to dating that has nothing to do with climbing out of your sunroof as your car coasts down a hill.

JamesENL

@josilber I always thought it was mirroring someone's movements really close behind them

josilber

Anyhow, all the highest rated urbandictionary definitions deal with dating, so I have updated how I define ghosting.

user163250

@JamesENL oh I've heard about something like that.

josilber

You guys should check out ghost riding videos -- I remember being both amused and mortified when those were a hit.

When I was in college, some of the career counselors suggested following someone around their office during a typical workday to see what their job was like.

I'm glad it's a cultural phenomenon that appears not to have survived

Was there a question hidden in there?

Mostly it sounded like somebody who was disappointed their questions did not get answered. I suppose they should try bounties?

Other than the question that they admitted was off-topic, they got 3 upvotes and 1 downvote.

I would like you to prove me, the problem with these 5 questions was on my side of the line and not on SO's. Unless you do that, I would like an answer to the last question. Frankly, I would like the answer to it anyway. — Slazer 2 mins ago

@Derpy but that was a bomb, not a missile, wasn't it? ;)

Shadow Wizard

Andrew T.

Move to LQPHQ? runs away

Shadow Wizard

Moving it to the TL room would cause interesting results... :D
