- Digital Bipolar Disorder: Rapid swings from an extreme love for social media, to a position of extreme disdain. And back. And forth. And back.
- Twitterhea: According to Urban Dictionary, OTD is frantic tweeting “in a short time span (often pointless tweets posted just to pass the time), twitching, or putting @ signs in front of a person’s name even when not on Twitter.”
- Obsessive Twitter Disorder (OTD): Also known as Obsesssive Compulsive Twitter Disorder or OCTD, it is defined as “the compulsive desire to stay within a five foot radius of any device connected to Twitter and exhibiting anger at whomsoever disturbes them while posting updates.”
