How long have you been living in the stream? Do you find yourself thinking about a thought is worth tweeting or not – more regularly than could be appropriate? Do you find yourself using words that language purists would frown upon, words that have been born out of too much time on Twitter?
The truth is that as much time as I spend on Twitter, thanks to work-related activities as well, I don’t easily pick up on many of the buzzwords. Perhaps that is because I have an aversion to using buzzwords – most of the time, at least. I do understand that there are people who like picking up those buzzwords and actually use them, contributing to the further spreading of those words. If you’re one of them, you just might enjoy your Friday a bit more with this infographic I found.
Titled “The Social Marketer’s Urban Twictionary”, the infographic is obviously geared at those who work in the social marketing sector, but that does not mean the ordinary person cannot use the words found in the twictionary, does it?
Some utterly ridiculous rather interesting words I learned, thanks to the twictionary:
- attwicted
- detweet
- politweet
- dweet
- twalker
- twantrum
I don’t know about you, but those words make me want to do the proverbial face palm, and those words starting with “tw” just makes me think of Barry Kripke from The Big Bang Theory!
Going through the twictionary one more time, I think that I shall have to revise my opinion. Either it adds amusement to your day, or it makes you throw a twantrum!
