bashtag

The act of using the category listing device on twitter for the darker purpose of insulting or bashing someone. Can also be used as a insult towards people who intentionally use hashing on Facebook when it serves no actual purpose.

When the string of hash tags following the post is actually longer than the post itself, it needs to be 'bashtagged'. Also, when an abuser produces a string of 'hashtags' so long that they are almost impossible to read without cracking up because each 'hashtag' is stupider than the next, 'bashtagging' is called for. Frankly, there are so many egregious and capricious use of 'hashtags' in this day and age, you'll find yourself wanting to 'bashtag' more and more. That is fine because 'bashtagging' is simple, fun, and has several uses. While still an intellectual activity, 'bashtagging' points out the more obvious details in a picture or in any way insults the original string of 'hashtags' making it infinitely more hilarious. It's like legal spray painting.

A hashtag word or phrase on twitter used to bash a particular celebrity, company, product, or lifestyle, often going viral. Usually they originate from funny running jokes, though sometimes they originate from a company's own marketing hashtag gone awry. Examples include #Drakethetype, #McDstories, #qantasluxury, #AskJPM
