A quick definition of dooced:

Dooced: When someone loses their job because of something they wrote on their blog or website, it's called being dooced. This word was made up by Heather Armstrong in 2002 after she was fired for writing about her coworkers on her blog. But sometimes people can get dooced for posting inappropriate pictures or other things online too.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dooced is a term used to describe losing your job because of something you wrote on your personal blog, journal, or other website. The term was coined in 2002 by Heather Armstrong, who was fired after writing about her work colleagues on her blog, dooce.com. However, it's not just limited to writing - posting inappropriate photos or videos can also lead to being dooced.

Example: Ellen Simonetti, a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, was dooced in 2004 when her managers found inappropriate photos of her in her uniform on her website.

This example illustrates how posting inappropriate content on a personal website can lead to losing your job. Even if the content is not related to your job, it can still reflect poorly on your employer and lead to consequences.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?

Not worth the risk. Get a girl sick and she will remind you forever. Tell her whats up but do not share germs
