A "tweep" is a Twitter user who is a rookie or a novice by virtue of their low number of tweets. It is also someone on the bottom of the Twitter hierarchy. The opposite of "tweep" is "twitterian."
"Twitterian" is purely a merit-based term that describes an individual with a high number of tweets and is positively charged.
The term "tweep" is occasionally a negatively charged term, as it implies low merit as determined by number of tweets. There is widespread disagreement on whether or not the amount of time than an individual has had a Twitter account should be taken into consideration when determining if an individual is a "tweep."
There are those who believe that they should not be considered "tweeps" despite their low number of tweets because they have had a Twitter account for a long time. There are those who believe that the date of an individual's first tweet has no bearing on that individual's status as a "tweep."
An individual with both a long standing Twitter account and a high number of tweets is occasionally referred to as an "elitist."

You are a tweep not a twitterian.
I have had my Twitter for exactly one month. Started as a #tweep, became a #Twitterian, reached the #500tweetsclub, and became a #tweetingmachine.
I am not an elitist. I am not a #tweep. I am the voice of reason. We can all coexist peacefully. #IAmATwitterian

Tweeps are tweens or teens that hang out with adults 25 years or older on a regular basis. For the adult, this should be a little creepy, since most people their age would like to hang out and party with real adults. Tweeps usually result in tweeping and the adult usually becomes a tweeper.
EX1: Hey Jordan, wanna catch a movie?
That's alright, I've already seen it with my tweeps.
EX2: Hey Jordan, wanna go bowling with Kevin & Hailey?
I would, but I'm tweeping tonight at Keisha's house.

Tweeping is when an adult male or female aged 25 years or older likes to hang out with tweens or teens of the opposite sex, for long periods of time, and usually late at night. This is especially creepy, since most adults at that age like to hang out and party with actual adults. Another sense of the word would be tweeper, or tweeps.
EX1: Hey Jordan, wanna go to Michael's house tonight?
No, I think I'm tweeping at Denny's instead.
But their food sucks!
Dude, I wanna hang out with my tweeps!
EX2: Jordan, Ashley is too young for you, you're a total tweeper, and hangin out with those tweeps is a little strange, don't ya think?
Whatever dude, I'm not a tweeper, and those tweeps are as legit as they come. Screw you!
