Hagtivism 

A conjunction of "hashtag activism"; a useless, noxious form of "activism" that takes place in 144 angry, hateful characters or less. This is usually a response to taking offense to something, but ironically is often more offensive than what it is responding to.
If your tweets are angry ramblings about what you find offensive and inappropriate followed by numerous hashtags meant to blame and demean your subject, you are guilty of hagtivism.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
