A "soft-tag" is when, on Facebook, you tag someone from a comment string rather than sharing (or "bouncing") the item to which you're calling their attention to their timeline. This is a way to tag someone with discretion, because a tag from the comment thread only shows up in the tagged person's notifications, not on their timeline. It's a great way to call attention to something you know is too rude to post directly to their wall.
I soft-tagged you because I knew this would gross out your family if it showed on your timeline.
Soft-tag me from the post so I can check it out after the kids are in bed.

Get the soft-tag mug.When you want to stay updated on the events of a show but don't actually feel like watching it, so instead you check its tags on a social media website (often Twitter or Tumblr) to read people's comments about it and get an idea for what's happening. It can also apply to a show you actually do want to watch, but can't for whatever reason, and want to know what happens, anyway.
Friend A: "I don't really care enough about Glee to watch it anymore, but I still can't help but wonder what it's like these days."
Friend B: "Why don't you just tag-watch it? There are still plenty of bloggers that care about it, for some reason."
-OR-
Friend C: "My roommate was a dick and invited his girlfriend over during The Walking Dead, so now I'm sitting outside the door, reluctantly tag-watching tonight's episode and trying to ignore the sounds of him porking her in his bunk."
