Goodness, I don't even know. I suppose hashtags actually have a purpose on other social networks, but definitely not on facebook. However, you'll still see whores putting hashtags on fucking everything.

A hashtag is simply a word following a # symbol. It can be whatever you please, but definitely doesn't have to relate to your post AT ALL. So, if you've come to find what a hashtag is, don't even bother. Just hashtag your shit like this, but on facebook it's not going to do a thing.

Get the Facebook Hashtags mug.
A Facebook Hashtag is seemingly pointless as a hashtag used on Facebook doesn't fulfill the typical function of the metadata tag. In all reality, it is a delightful little tool that is used to annoy and troll the masses-- most commonly those of the Stanley kin.

The leech of society. Because Facebook doesn't have a word limit, so you can hashtag abuse in your Facebook novel and lose all respect from your friends.
Your Facebook Hashtags. I hate them.
