| 5. | twittering | ||
|
A word by people who don't actually use twitter and are probably 20 years too old to be using twitter in the first place. Whenever used, they are referring to the word "tweet", but learned about twitter from a day-time talk show hosted by a 40-year-old woman who wants to tell parents what their kids are -really- doing every week.
Brian: Hey, are you twittering?
John: No, I'm tweeting that one more person who has no idea of what twitter is just commented on it. |
