Nice one!

How about Twosser – one of those people you worked with who you knew was shite at their job and was in PR for all the wrong reasons…and then sends a Tweet that proves it. Similar to a T-wit accept for some reason the Twosser is always more senior than you…

Here’s another one for you:

Twoverkill – person sending out multiple tweets saying the same thing but slightly differently and linking to the same article.

For those Twoverkillers, here’s some good 140 character advice Twitter engagement from Econsultancy editor, Chris Lake:

Lakey – If you post multiple tweets promoting the same blog article via slightly different headlines then I will unfollow you #noisefail

Twanker – over blown and frenzied self-congratulation

Twat – “A derogatory term for a person whose behaviour is considered to be extremely or intolerably ignorant, obnoxious, offensive or moronic.” – Urban Dictionary

Like t’war, as in how an old bloke from Doncaster would talk about the 1939-1945 armed conflict.

Twoccasional definitely makes the list.

Continuing the line of thought, TWOCer (as in Taken Without Content, or joyriding). The joyriders of Twitter are those who retweet with gleeful and wanton abandon but rarely contribute anything of any interest themselves. Perhaps because nothing they say or think is of any particular interest.

What about “Twoccasional” – a PR person who only logs on when instructed to by employer/client and pitches own story to echochamber of followers?
