If you want to understand the challenges facing young people today when it comes to finding "the one", look no further than their online dating semiotics, aka digital slang.
The swamp of modern, app-based dating is hostile, cold-blooded, superficial and quid pro quo as these new terms make abundantly obvious:
Doxxing: Harvesting someone's online information in order to harass them, often publicly broadcasting private or identifying information.
Eclipsing: Adopting the interests or hobbies of someone you're dating and pretending you like them too.
