Andrew Badera's definitions

hipster

Primary indication of membership in Fauxhemian society: placeless pretentiousness. This is followed closely by wearing clothes that don't look good on you, or anyone, because it's "cool," right alongside being critical and then hypocritical about whatever you were criticizing in someone else, often in the name of "irony."

Secondary indications of self-election to doucheoisie status include a fondness for the non-non-mainstream Pabst Blue Ribbon, more commonly referred to as PBR, and feigning delight in subpar bands just because the mainstream has never heard of said bands. (Probably with good reason.)

Hipster douchebag tweets: "Wow, I can't believe that person tweets so much! Don't they have a life?"

Hipster douchebag gets a crappy haircut for the irony of it after criticizing a coworker or social acquaintance's bad haircut the day before.

twam

Twitter spam; see also, life-vomit

1. Twitter accounts that serve no benefit other than linkspamming or self-promotion: "That girl's pretty twam-y."

2. Twitter follow requests from persons blithely following Robert Scoble's mass-adding formula for gaining "followers" on Twitter: "Scoble's mass-add formula encourages follow twam."

I'm so sick of all this followspam! The SEObots and bambibots are killing my inbox!
