The Twitter Effect 

When something unimportant is ovrhyped by the media until it reaches the mainstream, even though it adds nothing of value. Named after everyone and their mother decided to start using Twitter.
I am so sick of seeing MTV showing Kings of Leon music videos. They're such a mediocre band. Clearly, they're beneficiaries of The Twitter Effect.

Twitter Bites 

Giving a speech consisting of sentences either containing exactly or no more than 140 characters each, so they can be Tweeted.
Yo Yo, you know what, da boss come in this morning and he tell me Obama speak in 140 character “Twitter Bites”, but I think he a republican!

Twitter tantrum 

A Twitter tantrum occurs when a Twitter user is at odds with one or more of his/her fellow Twitterers. This is typically characterized by a confrontational exchange of "tweets" during which threats are made to unfollow (block), etc.

This is not atypical behavior considering the often self-absorbed and self-serving personality traits of the participants and their insatiable need for attention and validation.
Being the self-absorbed prima donna she always has been, Chloe threw a full-on Twitter tantrum last night and unfollowed several of her most loyal followers just because they dared to challenge her on some her extremist political views.

Woke Bully Twitter 

Coined by Drew Monson.

Noun:

“People who talk about progressive movements, (prohibiting actions, and declaring work behavior.) But they are also bullies!”

Drew: “I followed these people before who are making cool tweets about like, transphobia or whatever, (but) then they’ll be calling someone fat! Just be *nice*!”

Also;
“You can’t be nice but *also* a bully. It doesn’t make any sense to be with these progressive movements and also making fun of the way people look in such an intense way.”
NBT: “Boys and girls and in between can look and feel how they want! Everyone has a right to the body hey deserve!”

A few minutes later, NBT: “This THING wearing DREADS is disgusting! What incest orgy did they crawl from? Cancelled!”

OTHERS: “Looks like Woke Bully Twitter is at it again!”
