Now that even Martha Stewart is on Twitter (give it a month before she drops it off?), we have no more excuse to pretend that we know the following of all those weird words.

A great place to start is Gina Holloway’s great post listing the main keywords you should master to get your twitter yellow belt.

And if you still can’t find the term you’re looking for, twittonary should have the definition.

My favorite ones from Gina’s list:

Dweet
Twitter message sent while drunk.

Twittcrastination
Using Twitter to procrastinate.

Twaigslist
To sell something via Twitter.

Tweetard
Someone acting like an idiot on Twitter.

Twhiner
A Twitter user who posts a high number of negative items.

Twittectomy
The act of unfollowing someone on Twitter.

Twoops
Sending a private message to Twitter by accident.
