A lawsuit originating from a Tweet, or 140 character or less message on the microblogging service Twitter. Typical Tweetsuits involve defamation, product dilution, or a similar claim. It is an uncharted area of the legal realm, with little or no supporting case law. The term was originally coined on July 28, 2009 by ADMAVEN - The Interactive Advertising Blog in an article entitled, "Tweetsuits Multiply, Suing People For Tweets Going Mainstream".

Get the tweetsitter mug.'TweetUI' n. pr: 'tweet you eye'...
1. A Tweet written and submitted under the influence..
2. using twitter with enough drinks, narcotics, stimulants, pain killers, mood enhancers..etc..to alter the normal 'Tweets'.
3. Like a DUI, with a keyboard, not a car....
4. Tweeting something you would not normally tweet...but liquid or other courage lowers inhibitions, and results in 'tweets' with either too much information, or something embarrassing.
5. Writing a 'tweet' that would normally be omitted, or without controversy, but due to alcohol, etc. the tweet is written, and likely deleted the next morning.
Note: TweetUI is exponentially likely worse as your number of followers increases, or is in the thousands or more.
