Word of the week: Twitterrhea

October 11, 2016 at 8:04PM

Definition: Excessive use of Twitter.

Sample usage: "Where will you be when Twitterrhea strikes? Probably in front of the TV on debate night, posting observations every 37 seconds."

Popularity: It's a good way to insult folks who can't stop yammering about things on Twitter, but they won't see it. Their feed scrolls too quickly.
