in libro faciem; Latin: "in the book of face", i.e. in Facebook, is a legal-appearing term I want to get credit for coining, so here it is, documented, on the web.
In a very obscure and possibly not even searchable corner of the web, so if I really want credit, I should probably post it to Facebook. Visible to Everyone.
The existence of this phrase is a nod to the significance of Facebook in the modern human experience. For many people in this stage of civilization, some of their own experiences in life are only given final due and meaning if they are reflected in their Facebook space. To such people, vacations, relationship changes, even meals seem somehow incomplete or not fully valid if they have not been shared with their online friends. Thus, an experience or observation may be said to be full and complete within itself if it is, perhaps only if it is, in libro faciem.
Thankfully I'm not like that. Now let me Facebook this so it's real.
