Clique-stalking is the act of surreptitiously investigating a person’s friends or social media connections.
Clique-stalking指偷偷調(diào)查某人的朋友或社交媒體人脈的行為。

Clique-stalking happens when you fall down the rabbit hole of clicking the names tagged in distant friends’ photos, then cross-checking for other mutual friends; when you Google a stranger because you always see her commenting on your ex-boyfriend’s friends’ Instagrams; when you see a Twitter handle you don’t recognize in an @-reply, then check who else he’s been talking to.
如果你沉迷于點(diǎn)擊遠(yuǎn)方的朋友的照片里標(biāo)記的人名，然后反復(fù)核對(duì)你們是否有其他共同好友；如果你因?yàn)榭吹揭粋€(gè)陌生女性總是點(diǎn)評(píng)你前男友的朋友的Instagram照片，就開始用谷歌搜索這個(gè)陌生人；如果你看到@自己的回復(fù)中出現(xiàn)不認(rèn)識(shí)的推特賬號(hào)，就會(huì)查看他還在跟誰交流，你就正在Clique-stalking。
