Hashtag

The number symbol that people keep putting in front of phrases, like when they are going to do something.

Thank you twitter for starting something stupid like hashtag...
#number is really "number number"

#inmyshoe is really "number in my shoe"
#a is really "number a"

hashtag abuser

When you overuse the hashtag symbol, especially on non-Twitter/Instagram apps. Includes having more hashtags than words in your post, adding the prefix "insta" to everything, tagging things that aren't really related, and making hashtags longer than sentences.

"Man that's some serious hashtag abuse."

hashtaggers

Users of online social networks, who frequently engage other people in various kinds of online word games, always identified with a clever or descriptive hashtag that identifies a stream of similar messages. Users wanting to play, simply follow the gametag, and append it to their messages whenever they want to submit an entry to the game stream.

Some Hashtaggers have created hundreds of gametags, including very popular ones like #NewOscarAwards and #ballonBoyBookTitles.

Hashtag

Hashtags flag a topic.

Every article explaining hashtags is like a million pages long and P.S. people–using the word “metadata” to explain them is like, thank you for nothing.

rhetorical hashtag

Much like a rhetorical question, a rhetorical hashtag is a hashtag used in a tweet to produce an effect or make a statement, rather than for the generally intended purpose of hashtag, which is to connect the tweet with other tweets using the same tag and make it searchable. Rhetorical hashtags are often used to inject humor and sarcasm, or even to clarify what the tweet pertains to. Occasionally they are used to make passive aggressive jabs at others. They are sometimes long and made up of many words strung together.
Some examples of tweets using rhetorical hashtags: "I'm awake. #crap" "So @thinkgeek is hiring product testers? They should totally hire me to take care of that for them. #onlyhalfkidding" "Sure, I'll let my little brother borrow my new car. #overmydeadbody #worstdriverever"

Sharon really goes overboard with the rhetorical hashtags. She can hardly tweet without adding something like #holyhellwhyisthishappeningtomeagain. I wish she'd shut up and quit whining.
