Twitter

Definition: Telling the world what you had for breakfast/lunch/dinner in 140 characters or less. Failing that, telling one specific person (with the use of Twitter's @replies) that you did not get a seat on the train either. In short, twitter is a way for text-addicts to keep texting, even when no one will listen.
Usage: "Just had the most AWESOME eggs." "@iYam OMG, I was totally stuck standing on the metro this morning too! Don't you hate that?!"
