Definition

Vaguebooking is the practice of posting deliberately cryptic or vague content to social media, in hopes that others will ask what's going on. As you might expect, vaguebooking originated on Facebook, where users often post statuses that state they are angry, happy, surprised, or otherwise emotional, but don't explain why.

Bada**

A bada** is a person who is considered cool because he doesn't follow the rules. The person probably wears a leather jacket and owns a motorcycle, but these two traits are not required in order to qualify. Its origins date back to the 1950s where it was primarily used to describe someone as dangerous because he or she would not conform to society's norms and therefore be dangerous, like a political revolutionist. As the term has evolved, a bada** doesn't necessarily have to be dangerous, he just has to do cool things and be willing to break some rules, regardless of whether they are minor or major. While the term is typically used in-person, it may also be used online and in text messages. Although, when used online, it is often shortened to BA to save character space and time.
