What is Facebook Chicken?
1.
When two people would like to add each other as friends, but don't want to be the ones who make the friend invitation. This puts them in a game of Facebook Chicken, where they wait until the first person gives in to making the first add invitation.
A: "Check out the pictures of Jenny in the 80s party, it's hilarious!"
B: "Uhh, I have to view it through John, right?"
A: "Yea, your his friend, right?"
B: "Eh, we are still playing Facebook Chicken."
A: "Serious? We've known him for 2 years!"
B: "Yea, but then he'll think I want to be his friend."
A: "But you do!"
B: "I know, but I want him to be the first to ask me, it's complicated ok!"
