Get the hashtag abusermug. 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.

Get the hashtag abusermug. Piggybacking on a popular or trending hashtag to increase the chances of people seeing your tweet about an unrelated or related topic.
For example, if you are hosting a video game event and it's near the time of the popular "Comic Con" convention, you would do some "hashtag planting" in your event tweets and use the already popular #comiccon so that all of the people looking for info on Comic Con would also see your tweets about your event.
