Maybe Tweavesdropping could be when you follow their RSS feed so they don't know you're following?

As the creator of Twictionary (that's a direct link, rather than the one in the post which goes to my personal blog) I should mention that it's a wiki which has had a bunch of contributors... no one person is responsible for a majority of the content. It's been something that I hatched several months back along with my friend @verso and we've added a bunch of people as editors to make contributions. Do we have too much time on our hands? Perhaps. But we're inclusive of everyone with too much time :)

Twitterbole: Figure of speech by which an inane action is made to appear as interesting or enigmatic. For instance, you're in the john and you twit: "Freeing myself of the superfluous". Cartoon about it available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cesarastudillo/239...

How about Tweetiquette? I would suggest someone who doesn't use good Twitter etiquette such as one who replies to so many people at a time filling up the screen with posts. Isn't this bad Tweetiquette.

"One Hitter Twitter" - a highly potent strain of herb with effects so seismic that you can't help but tweet about it.
#Hashtag: A fun game to play when you're hittin' the hash. It's like "hide and smoke weed" but with more kickassness.
Bomb Twiggity: An extremely potent strain of tweefer. "douglas fir realz yo, that tweefer from the twitspensary is bomb twiggity"
Fat Twong Rip: when ya stretch them binary airways for a full 140 character tweet toke, invoking the grace of Jah to ease the squeeze of All
"Twoke": tokin' while twittin' - To Twoke: "You can tell Dave was twoking by his use of the perma-grin" =D

Today I was TWEETNAPPED. A service I am using as main twitter client forced me to send out a promotional tweet in order to upgrade to version 2.0 of their service. I love the service but didn't like being forced to send out a tweet without being able to edit it. Their tweet included a bit more enthusiasm than felt genuine, despite my love of their service, including a Please RT! request. That crossed the line from, tell a friend about this to upgrade to tweetnapping...
