Shouldn't that be, Twictionary? I think most of these words are spelled wrong, if you ask me. And you did. Most can be found in The Urban Dictionary. Spelled correctly.

I'd add 'twoll', which is somewhat obviously a tweeting troll. Not necessarily to be confused with 'twot', which is something of an unmanned twoll.
