A person who is between the age of 18 to 25 and even beyond, who have become a part of a distinct and separate life stage, a strange, transitional never-never land between adolescence and adulthood in which people stall for a few extra years, putting off the iron cage of adult responsibility that constantly threatens to crash down on them.
"Yeah my friend is 26, still lives at home with the 'rents and parties all week, ah the life of a twixter."

twixterhood 

The phase affected by the quarterlife crisis, or the lapse of time -- ranging from a few years to over a decade -- where a twenty-something experiences the transitioning stage between late adolescence and young adulthood (approximately ages 17-23) and full-fledged adulthood.

Twixterhood, a neologism combining "Twixter," a term coined by a writer at TIME magazine, to the suffix "hood," suggests an adulthood characterized by financial, emotional, and/or personal immaturity, a refusal to "grow up," a desire to hold onto or maintain the glory years of college partying or casual relationships, or the preference of traveling, exploring, learning, and taking on part-time or temporary forms of employment instead of committing to full-time, permanent positions.

Both a positive and negative experience for twenty-somethings, and even thirty-somethings, the average length of Twixterhood has lengthened since the maturing years of Generation X-ers: members of Generation Y, and the generations after Y, are prone to drawing out this stage, particularly by moving back in or residing permanently with their parents.
After hugging his younger sister on her twenty-fifth birthday, he jokingly welcomed her into Twixterhood, and laughed because she was about to move back into her childhood bedroom at their parents' house, as she could no longer afford to pay rent and go to graduate school at the same time.

twittersation

A conversation consisting entirely of 140 character-or-less "tweets", or Twitter updates, on the micro-blogging website, twitter.com. Twittersations rarely contain legitimate Twitter updates and are instead more of a slower form of instant messaging.
Jack: @Jill How was your Holiday?
Jill: @Jack It was great, we had lots of food and drinks! How was yours?
Jack: @Jill Oh you know, the usual! Lots of family friends came over. Wish you were there!
Jill: @Jack Wish I was there too, it sounds like a lot of fun. Did you hear what happened to Janet at the party?
Janet: @Jack @Jill She got pissed off when she got fifty twitter updates on her phone from a stupid twittersation.
