What is Ghost Post?
1.
(n) an entry posted to slangdefine with a strong editorial slant that mysteriously never appears on the website
Despite having received confirmation of my definition for "
one-termer " and a message that the definition will appear in the next 24 hours, it never does. Considering the level of incoherent gibberish that does get posted, one has to wonder how my entry became a ghost post. Can an entry be posted, recommended for deletion, voted on, and deleted in less than 48 hours? I seriously doubt it.
(Chances are you won't see this definition either.)

2.
A comment on a Facebook item (e.g. status, note, etc) that was removed by the author due to A) misspelling, B) stupid remark, C) awkward input, or D) other.
The result is typically confusion and several wasted minutes on the part of the one who was commented on or anyone who posted previously.
Facebook: XYZ commented on your note.
Me: ...where's the comment? Jeez, way to ghost post, XYZ.
