I can’t stand ”The Lurker” talk constantly

 

[SisterBliss]

Totally agree, present professionally first. She’s talking about Lurkers, sweaty armpits, Kit-Kats etc, totally embarrassing.

Eh? Wtf??

I’m not a country bumpkin but also don’t know what a Lurker is.

Oh good god Annalise is on with Cozee homes talking about “Lurkers” again. Stop it

What does she mean...'lurkers'? Browsers? How rude. Dosser!!!!!

 

[SisterBliss]

and don't forget my high instep (sharp intake of breath)

..& doesn't 'high instep' just mean WIDE feet?

 

[User 23988]

The embarrassment is some sycophants think they are actually good.
Wicked lurker init.

High instep is a favourite description of Julia Roberts and relates it to her dancers feet.

She must mean that a lurker is someone who hovers around and waits for someone not to confirm their order so that they can jump in and get the item. But then again, she may not mean this.

I think you’re probably correct. I’ve just found this definition.

In Internet culture, a lurker is typically a member of an online community who observes, but does not participate. The exact definition depends on context. Lurkers make up a large proportion of all users in online communities. Lurking allows users to learn the conventions of an online community before they participate, improving their socialisation when they eventually "de-lurk". However, a lack of social contact while lurking sometimes causes loneliness or apathy among lurkers.

Lurkers are referred to using many names, including browsers, read-only participants, non-public participants, legitimate peripheral participants, vicarious learners, or sleepers.

I can think of better definitions though.

I can't imagine that the backroom people know how many are watching the Q but must know the figures for customers who haven't checked out their baskets so maybe she's created this word to describe them. The alternative is that she's decided to use this word as a good selling ploy. Either way it reminds me, in a less sinister way, of the many scare tactics used by politicians & their experts over the last 18 months & I'm pleased to see that so many of these are now being reported as unfounded & unethical.

I thought it was a modern word meaning something completely different,

Lurking to me has always had a tiny wee bit of sleaze about it as if the person is hanging about somewhere they shouldn’t be!

Yes, like the dirty old men your mother warned you about lurking near the public toilets.
