An incorrect synonym for "obliged", which appears in some dictionaries, but none of the good ones.
John: "I feel obligated to go to this dinner with my In-laws"
Peter: "I think you mean "obliged"?"
John: "Whatever, it's the same thing"
Peter: "No it's not, idiot, I'm obliged to punch you in the face for thinking that."
An obligation is something you may not like or even enjoy doing but you do it out of respect or some profound sense of duty.
Don't ever tell your girlfriend that you're attending her 21st birthday party out of obligation. She's not American born and English is her 2nd language; she doesn't fully understand its definition. She has absolutely zero respect and will never have any sense of duty. She will fight with you for days over the true definition of the word, implying that somehow, duty has a "negative" connotation. As she verbally castrates you, you will be constantly reminded of how pussy-whipped you are and how she abuses your fear of being alone to her advantage. Your relationship with the man eating bitch, no matter how gorgeous she is, will strongly parallel repeatedly running head first into a brick wall and loving it. Even after you’ve accepted defeat, admitted your wrong doings, and apologized for them, she will continue to berate you over the fact that she is never wrong.
Four years of college… wasted out of fucking obligation.
Obligation.
Jane: "That's not what obligation means, look it up in a dictionary. Try dictionary.com.
Dick: "Actually, urbandictionary has a pretty good definition you omnipotent whore."

Obligation
After taking a filthy poop, wiping your butt and accidently getting some poop on the hand. Then, taking your hand and smelling it because you feel obligated to. You know it is going to smell like sh!t but you just are obligated.
Much obliged means that whatever was done is appreciated. Literally, it could be extended to mean that the person that says "Much obliged" now owes the other a favor. That the one that is obliged is under an obligation to pay back. Most people wouldn't expect a return favor though.
If a man is given a ride into town, when he gets out of the car, he might say "Much obliged". That would mean: "thank you for the ride. I am appreciative"

Facebook Obligation
The act of liking or commenting on one's friends post on Facebook, not because you feel like posting but because they often comment or like yours.
