albatrossing

verb – to albatross someone.

an act of albatrossing involves isolating a friend within a fairly close network and har-ssing him or her through relentless and hilarious cyber-terrorism, using images of an albatross as the visual medium.

phase 1: post 20-25 images of albatrosses on their facebook wall.

phase 2: send a group text to your friends encouraging them to send a series of text messages to the target saying ‘albatross’ and nothing else. at no point reveal to the victim why you are doing this.

phase 3: send out a facebook message to all your mutual friends, requesting that they bombard the victim with albatross related humour. this can take any form ranging from, texts, voicemails, phone calls, facebook posts (including fun facts about albatrosses), changing one’s profile picture to an albatross..or even entering their home and covertly hiding photos of albatrosses around their room.

phase 4: sit back and enjoy the ride, as a movement it will take on a mind of its own.

the latest craze, evolved from ‘seagulling’. this evolution involves a more advanced, long range technique with the aid of a catapult, ball bearing and a used condom.
