facebooker – ahh screw it, i’ll pity like it .
liking someones status, not because you actually like it, but because you could tell that the person tried hard to write it and expects people to like it.
meh, that status is kinda lame, but i could tell that sally thought it sounded really cool when she wrote it. i’ll just pity like it.
looking at the newsfeed on facebook and coming accross a status update where the writer is welcoming likes or comments but no-one does. therefore ‘liking’ the status, not because you actually like it but more that you sympathise with its creator.
penelope: “dude, did you see karen’s last status update on facebook…?”

patty: “yeah it was not funny at all, what was she thinking?”

penelope “i have no idea, i felt so bad for her though so i pity liked”
when you like someone’s status/picture on facebook because they’re 1) trying too hard, 2) desperate for attention, or 3) just weird and you want to be the one they save when they come to school with a sawed off shotgun.
person 1: dude, did you see kayla’s status she posted last night?

person 2: yeah, it was so dumb i had to give it a pity like.
the act of “liking” a friend’s status on facebook because no one else has liked their status.
sounds like the perfect time for a pity-like.
on facebook, when you make a witty comment on a person’s status and the person likes your comment first, and then, a few minutes later, out of pity for the other people who commented, likes the rest of the comments on her status. this often happens even when you weren’t the first one to comment on the status.
i know i shouldn’t give a sh-t, but miranda gave out pity likes again after i commented on her 7-11 free slurpee status with “never forget.” f-ck that b-tch.
the likes given to any status updates by a person from his/her other facebook friends. same as pity s-x, but not.
john’s h-t an all time record of pity likes for his fb post saying his gf left him for a rubber duck.
