[ SPANISH INTERNET CULTURE ][ GEN Z BRAINROT ]
To obsessively look through someone's social media profile — old photos, posts, likes — usually someone you're romantically interested in or curious about, without them knowing.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Me pasé toda la noche stalkeando su Instagram, ya vi hasta las fotos de 2015."
LORE & ORIGIN
Built from the English verb 'stalk' plus the Spanish infinitive suffix -ear, a genuine morphological adaptation into Spanish-internet grammar rather than a borrowed English phrase used as-is — the resulting lexeme is fully conjugated in Spanish (stalkeo, stalkeaste, stalkeando) the way a native verb would be.
