A male or female user of social media, mainly Twitter, who uses hashtag in an
inappropriate way. One or more of the following
characteristics will need to be present:-
1. Using 5 or more hashtags in one tweet;
2. Hashtagging something that is so long or random, there is no chance of it ever trending (eg. #havingamediterraneanpastabakewiththemanofmydreams);
3. Using "#nofilter", even when they have put an effect on or edited the photo;
4. Tweeting with hashtags at least 3 times an hour about:-
a) usual tasks or
household chores; and/or
b) their pets (eg. My chihuahua just did a whoopsie behind the sofa #smellydog #ilovemyrat)
5. Saying the word "hashtag" before phrases in face to face conversations.
The more of these characteristics that are present, then the more hashtagslaggy, the hashtagslag is.
Tarquin: Have you seen Seb's
girlfriends latest tweet?
Frances: No, what has that hashtagslag been
hashtagging now?
Tarquin: She obvs. out with Seb. She's said:-
"Out with Seb for a meal, his treat #nandos #piripiri #canwaittostuffmyfacewithmachospeas #feelingblessed #sohappy #lovemyman"
Frances: Man, she is such a
major league hashtagslag!
