What Are Your Favorite Twitterisms?

What Are Your Favorite Twitterisms?

Lately it seems like everyone is chatting online using some form of social networking site. One of the more popular sites now is Twitter. Twitter has become famous for it’s simplicity and ease of use.

Sure there are more prettier and sophisticated copycats out there like Pownce, Friendfeed or Plurk for example, but Twitter seems to have captured the heart and soul of mainstream users.

So much so that Twitter euphemisms are now popping up every day. I came up with one that fellow Twitterer Curtis liked, so I thought I would have some fun with it and try to come up with a few more.

These are what I have so far: 

If you chat online a lot, does that make you a Twitterbox?

Another version of that might be — Tweeterbox.

So how many Twits are following you now?

Do you like to Tweet your own horn?

If you’re not careful, Twitter will fritter your life away.

That’s for sure! 

So here’s my challenge: What Twitterisms can you come up with?

    1. I guess you can call me a tweeterbox or twitterbox. I guess you laid claim to the last tweet phrase. Dang, I cant win for losing.

      Only the last one? No worries Curtis. You can still borrow it. I was just kidding about the royalty :-)
