Maybe Feed Feint?

Y’ever been on Facebook (duh, of course you have) and done an honest-to-god double-take because one of your staunchly Liberal friends posted a link for a Tea Party rally, or your born again Christian brother made his status: “Strippers and Jager seemed like a good idea at the time”?  Only after looking closer do you realize that one of two things happened:

1) With all that information crammed together on one news feed, you accidentally transposed said link or status with the friend appearing immediately above or below.

or

2) A combination of similar first names and vague profile pictures caused you to apply the statement to the wrong “Jennifer”.

What’s even more disconcerting than the immediate double-take is when you come back to the post a few minutes later (after, say, other people have posted comments and you realize, “Wait, Mom isn’t friends with Hamstring Timmy from work!”) and wonder why you didn’t question the clearly out-of-character statement in the first place only to realize that, just as the naysayers have been naysaying, you really aren’t friends with any of your Facebook friends.  Then you feel lonely and drink.

We really need an Urban Dictionary term for such moments.
