Burner account
含义: A secondary, anonymous social media account used to post without being identified.
A burner account (or 'burner') is a fake or anonymous social media profile. People use burners to stalk exes, post controversial opinions, troll, or engage with content they don't want associated with their main account. The term comes from 'burner phone' — a disposable, untraceable phone. Getting caught using a burner is a major social media scandal.
