Anatomy of a Dig

At the request of The Cheese, I've put together a handy little outline that should help the less fortunate among us understand when they are being made fun of. All digs are bolded and italicized for those of you that have a hard time identifying them.
  1. Definitions (from the American Heritage Dictionary and other sources)
    1. dig - A sarcastic, taunting remark; a gibe.
    2. diggor - The perpetrator of a sarcastic, taunting remark who makes fun of others to help him feel good about himself. When portrayed in flowcharts, typically colored red.
    3. diggee - The target of a sarcastic, taunting remark. When portrayed in flowcharts, typically colored yellow.
    4. innocent bystander - A person who has witnessed a smackdown [see footnote 1] by way of a sarcastic, taunting remark. Sometimes this person, by way of proximity to the diggee, becomes an unwitting diggee in round two. When portrayed in flowcharts, typically portrayed in green.
  2. Context
    1. The dig in question occurred on Facebook. In fact, this is a two part dig. The Cheese's LW remarked that she would help me with my flair but that she charges by the hour.
  3. The First Dig
    1. Lauren noted that LW charges by the hour for "many things . . . ."[see footnote 2]
  4. The Second Dig
    1. I noted that I had to take out a loan just to qualify as a friend of the Ernos, but, thankfully, The Cheese is value priced.[see footnote 3] 
  5. Flowchart/Diagram
    You will note that The Cheese's color is changing from green to yellow because he was a innocent bystander before he was the joint victim of the second, tagteam dig.
