Tweet-já Vu

The uncomfortable sensation that you've already heard a snippet of news before. Differs from Dejá Vu (where you *think* you have) - in that you HAVE heard it over and over again. Usually the news concerns something cool the tweeter is about to do, or has recently achieved. Essentially, they're reminding you to congratulate them. Over and *over* again.
Brad: If Kenny tweets me he got tickets for Susan Boyle, one more time, I'm gonna bust him up.
Jenny: I'm getting 'Tweet-já Vu', all over again.
Brad: Mos' Def'. Hey! Didn't we have this conversation already?
Jenny: ?

Tweetboxing

The act of several birds chirping randomly together to form a symphony of sounds. Sounds include interesting clicks and tocks yet staying in beat with an underlying rhythm. The faun-icular equivalent to human beatboxing.

tweet deprivation

A condition many Twitter addicts suffer from when greeted with the fail whale upon attempting to login. Symptoms often include: sudden anger, repetitive mouse-clicking, and excessive screen refreshing with a computer-zombie-esque fervor.
Mom: Stacy, dinner's almost ready.

Stacy: Fuck off Mom!!!

Father to mother: Don't worry babe, it's just the tweet deprivation, once she's able to find out what @justinbieber's #favoritepizzatopping is she'll be fine

Mother: *blank stare*
