Facebook has added a couple of verbs to our collective vocabulary. There's the common "Facebook," which means to message someone or request them as a friend, despite sounding more like something you'd say to somebody before punching them (e.g. "I'll Facebook you!"). And then there's to "poke" -- a gentle way of prodding acquaintances or initiating contact with someone you don't know, despite sounding like a form of sexual assault.
Since that latter function's inception, we've been waiting for someone to get in trouble for poking people on Facebook -- and not just because we're juvenile and enjoy the double entendre. Finally we got our wish. The Tennessean is reporting that a Hendersonville, Tennessee woman, Shannon D. Jackson, was arrested for "poking" an unidentified woman and, in doing so, violating a court order that prohibits Jackson from "telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner."
The violation, a class A misdemeanor, could result in almost a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.
We've seen plenty of arrests thanks to dumb things posted on Facebook, but this is the first time (we know of, at least) that someone has been jailed for poking. A truly historic day indeed. [From: The Tennessean]
