“Twitch” Coined on Twitter Fan Wiki – Glossary

OK, sometimes you get a small opportunity to change the world.  And in this case, only the crickets can offer their “chirp, chirp”. 🙂 That’s them saying, “uh, you did something?  Sorry, no one noticed.” 🙂

I’m a recent Twitter convert and I just got off a recent binge.  Feel free to follow me at @MattPenner if you so desire.

Anyway, I made a typo in one of my tweets.  It, of course, caused me to re-tweet with a correction.  So, my off-topic mind asked the question, “what is a typo called in Twitter?” 

If you don’t know, there are several coined terms in the world of Twitter.  For instance a Tweet is a message in Twitter and Twiterature is when you give quotes from literature on Twitter.

So, what is a typo in a tweet called?  It turns out there isn’t a name for it.  So, in all trumpets and fanfare (there are those crickets again!) I added Twitch to the list:

Twitch – When you tweet a typo causing you to tweet a correction before getting a load of replies.
