ReTweet-Delete

Replying to someone's twitter feed with a dumb joke, leaving it there just long enough for said person to read it, then deleting it to avoid embarrassment from followers.

I retweeted a friend's "...gonna be hard enough." with "that's what she said. #TWSS | #LOL" then five minutes later retweet-deleted it, cause I know his wife follows him.
