Recently someone wrote of me on Twitter: “I hope she drops dead.”
Now. What if I really do drop dead? Just die, just drop, just like that? Wouldn’t you feel horrible, anonymous Twitterer?
Wouldn’t you be guilty of…
(People: Consider using “Twurder” in your next sentence. Just consider it is all I’m asking.)

I’ve renamed the @ symbol you place in front of a tweep’s name a “twat”.
“I couldn’t click on @lindywest because you didn’t add her twat”
This post is tweedious.
You give new meaning to the word “twit,” Lindy.
…3, 2, 1…twurder.com.
…twiddle, twaddle, twat…didn’t, dawdle, dot…bumble, bobble, bot…
…just twipping.
Relevant to Slog, Stranger employees and twitter; please go vote for the new word for hipster. I’m torn between doucheoisie and trendslut.
Anybody get the number of that twuck…?
Every day, in every way, the tea baggers twurder the US Constitution for profit and malice.
If something would ordinarily be inane, but because it is either about Twitter or communicated via Twitter it is breathtakingly super-inane, would it be appropriate to call it “twitnane”?
Oh god, I feel ill, I think I need to take a massive twurd.
Hoping people die doesn’t work. I tried.
If that worked I’d join twitter so I could fire off tworgasms at people.
I prefer the slightly more formal “twittercide”…
@12 for the twin.
@8, come on. The obvious term for that is “twivial”.
Twurder, She Wrote
Twurder is dangerous, you will get caught. Your twacks are there for everyone to follow!
Just a twip.
When I see the word “twurder” all I can think of is “turder”
so maybe someone who turds and tweets about it? I guess what it really boils down to is what does Lindy care more about: murder or poop?
“ie. Portland Police are investigating a twurder alleged to have occurred last Wednesday night at the corner of SW Oak and 1st street, just blocks from Skidmore Fountain.
As of this report, Police Bureau investigators say they have few solid leads; but have admitted they are ‘following’ a couple possible twuspects they believe to be connected with the twurder. Police have also acknowledged multiple retweets of the twurder, raising fears of a potential twopycat.”
Oh god. I hate Twitter.
