Definition: Twitterese

Twitter terms, also called "twerms" and "Twerminology." In July 2023, Twitter was renamed X, and all the following are likely to disappear. Will Twitterese become X-erese? Doubtful, but time will tell. Way too common in the tech world, this is a perfect example of the total lack of concern for the spoken language (see naming fiascos). See Twitter, X.com and X/Twitter.
