chatbush

A sudden attack made from a concealed position against an innocent member of an online community. One is intending only a brief engagement on a social networking site or email provider, e.g. Facebook or Gmail, and one is subsequently accosted by a person of unsavory or over enthusiastic disposition via chat. The resulting conversation is neither desired nor succinct, and one cannot escape for fear of denying the chatbandit's vital need for social affirmation. Ultimately ones responses are reduced to mere letters or sounds. chatbandit: one who chatbushes.
