DENMARK
In Denmark, people put a flag outside their window to show that somebody in the house is having a birthday. The family put presents around the child’s bed when he is sleeping. When the child wakes up, he is very happy because he can see the presents.
VIETNAM
In Vietnam, people don’t celebrate the exact day of their birthday. Everybody celebrates their birthday on the same day – New Year’s Day.
CANADA
In Canada, the birthday child is caught by his friends and his nose is greased (смазывается) with butter for good luck. The greased nose makes the child too slippery (скользкий) for bad luck to catch him.
CHINA
The Chinese (китайцы) typically (обычно) only celebrate certain (определенные) birthdays: the first, 10th, 60th, 70th, and 80th. The 60th birthday is most important to the Chinese.

Сленг Социальных Сетей
Easy like – так называют в социальных сетях друзей, которые всегда ставят лайки на ваши фотографии, посты или комментарии, возможно, даже не читая, и независимо вовсе от того, нравятся ли они им в действительности.
Mike: «Hey man, look, Sandra 'liked' my status about me getting sick in that stupid competition!»
Steven: «Calm down, she's just an easy like.»
Friendscaping – «чистка» списка друзей в различных социальных сетях.
Mike: «why did you unfriend me?»
Steven: «I was just friendscaping and… you, bro, bore me.»
Словом crosstext передается значение «отослать сообщение не тому адресату» во время одновременной переписки с несколькими.
Oh my! I crosstexted my manager thinking it’s my girlfriend.
Friend surge – понятие, описывающее добавление в социальных сетях большого количества новых друзей по возвращении домой из летнего лагеря или любой другой поездки в ходе которой вы познакомились с большим числом людей.
After returning from summer camp, Mike experienced a Friend surge, gaining 54 friends in one afternoon.
Это тот, кого вы хорошо знаете лично как заурядную и откровенно не очень умную личность, но кто имеет в социальных сетях привычку пофилософствовать на вселенские темы, дать очень «нужный» совет, процитировать нечто, что даже не понимает и … ну вы поняли
Mike: " At times one remains faithful to a cause just because the opponents do not cease to be insipid.»
Steven: «Whats? This guy is a real Facebook Shithead!»
Like shock – получение неожиданно большого количество «лайков» на фотографию, комментарий или запись. Выражение может использоваться как существительное или глагол
«I usually get about 5 likes, but this picture of my cat got 30. I'm totally like shocked»
Ну и немного веселого сленга.
Shexting – переписка в социальных сетях, сидя в туалете. Ну что поделать, и такое случается, а раз есть прецедент – появилось и слово.
Nelly and Fiona always have important conversations while shexting.
