and how do you figure out what they mean? Like I know what a blog is, but what's a flog? People have been sending me stuff saying that they now have a flog. Should I open these things, what are they? What new terms have you figured out or need to figure out?

I've learnt something now also, but I can give you the definition. To paraphrase - a flog is a blog that seems written to represent a real person but isn't, in other words, a fake blog, often to promote something, like a product, company, service or political viewpoint, sometimes to make fun of something or someone.

Thanks, this is a big help. I wonder which thing each friend is faking. Thanks and take care.
