When a twitter user has a one-way
conversation with a celebrity so that to the users followers, it seems like they are talking to a celebrity and thus are instantly über-cool in the eyes of their followers, when in fact they are a loser with
nothing better to do than have a fake
conversation with themselves.
Similar to name dropping IRL, but even more annoying and even less likely to be true.
Tweet-Dropper: @BritneySpears How did the barbecue go? I heard
Justin Timberlake was there too >.< awkward?
Tweet-Dropper (A few minutes later, without a reply from Britney): @BritneySpears Haha yes, I suppose after a while it got pretty normal for both of you, you must go to loads of the same things!
Tweet-Dropper (Again few minutes later, still without any replies from Britney): Yeah, it's been great! How do you squeeze so much into 140 chars lol? =P
Tweet-Dropper's Follower: Wow, this guy I'm following is having a
conversation with THE
Britney Spears!
Tweet-Dropper (To self): They are totally falling for my Tweet-Dropping!
