A like given on facebook as a show of support on a negative status, rather than a show that you enjoy said status.

When someone posts a facebook status about something negative that is happening, a support-like can be used to show not that you enjoy that something bad is happening, rather, that you sympathize with the poster, you are liking it as a show of support.
I almost got in trouble for giving a support-like to the post about his car breaking down.

Get the support-like mug.
The act of clicking the like button on someone's new profile picture or status because they're your girlfriend/boyfriend/best mate and you're obliged to, or more commonly because you know the person's post will just be ignored otherwise and you feel kind of sorry for them.
