Un dizionario per i termini di twitter

Twitter si caratterizza non solo per il suo proprio ecosistema (ne abbiamo parlato qui) ma anche per un vero e proprio gergo. Vengono infatti creati ogni giorno nuovi termini e qualche volenteroso si è preso la briga di provare a creare un dizionario di twitter. Dal momento che la lingua predominante è ancora l’inglese il dizionario si chiama Twittonary ed i termini sono ancora solo nella lingua di Shakespeare.

Qualche esempio:
