Twitter, the social cross between IM’s and blogging, is so buggy and frequently screwed up that I’ve started to use it as a euphemism for one of the English language’s most versatile words. Therefor, I offer this as a guide. (how’s that for branding?)

In language, “twitter” falls into many grammatical categories.

  • Twitter can be used as a verb both transitive (he twittered her) and intransitive (she was twittered by him).
  • a active verb (he really gives a twitter),
  • a passive verb (she really doesn’t give a twitter),
  • an adverb (she is twittering interested in him) and
  • a noun (she is a fine twitter).
  • an adjective (she is twittering beautiful).

As you can see there is a whole lot of real versatility with “twitter”. It pops up everywhere. Besides its sexual connotation, this lovely word can be used to describe many situations:

  • GREETING - How the twitter are you?
  • FRAUD - I got twittered by that crook;
  • DISMAY - Oh, twitter it!;
  • TROUBLE - I’m twittered now!;
  • CONFUSION - What the twitter?!;
  • AGGRESSION - “Twitter you!”;
  • DISGUST - “Twitter me”
  • DESPAIR - Twittered again!;
  • PHILOSOPHY - “Who gives a twitter?”
  • INCOMPETENCE - “He’s a real twitter-off”;
  • DISPLEASURE - “What the twitter is going on here?”
  • NUMEROLOGY - “Sixty-twitterin’-nine”;
  • LOST - “Where the twitter are we?”
  • DISBELIEF - “Untwitteringbelievable
  • RETALIATION - Up your twittering a$$!”
  • REBELLION - Twitter it!;
  • DISPLEASURE - What the twitter’s going on?;
  • SATISFACTION - twitter me again!

Also as:

  • DESCRIPTIVE ANATOMY - “He’s a twitterin’ a$$hole!”
  • TO TELL TIME - “It’s six-twittering-thirty.”
  • PREDICTION - “Well, I’ll be twittered!”
  • A POLITICAL STATEMENT - “Twitter Washington”
  • INCESTUOUS - “Mothertwitterer”
  • A PUT DOWN - “Twitter off, buster!”
  • ALL ENCOMPASSING - “Twitter ‘em all!”
  • GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS - “Twitter the IRS”
  • A POKER HAND- “A royal twitter”
  • TO START A RELATIONSHIP - “Let’s twitter now!”
  • AS AN ACCEPTANCE - “Twitterin’ eh!”
  • ENJOYMENT - “Twitterin’ Wow!” ”
  • A CLOSING - “Twitteringly yours”.
  • MATERNAL - “Mothertwitterer”
