Hashtag
If you have been on Twitter, you may have seen a "hashtag." To put it simply, a
hash tag is simply a way for people to search for tweets that have a common topic and to begin a conversation. For example, if you search on #LOST (or #Lost or #lost, because it's not
case-sensitive), you'll get a list of tweets related to the TV show. What you won't get are tweets that say "I lost my wallet yesterday" because "lost" isn't preceded by the hash tag.Hashtags believed to have originated on Twitter but, interestingly enough, it is not a Twitter function. Some believe it began when the broken plane luckily landed in
the Hudson River in early 2009, some Twitter user wrote a post and added #flight1549 to it. I have no idea who this person was, but somebody else would have read it and when he posted something about the incident, added #flight1549 to HIS tweet. For something like this, where tweets would have been flying fast and furiously, it wouldn't have taken long for this hash tag
to go viral and suddenly thousands of people posting about it would have added it to their tweets as well. Then, if you wanted info on the situation, you could do a search on "#flight1549" and see everything that people had written about it.

The ugliest word ever used to describe this poor
little guy right here ->(#)
Yet another
social network fad that teaches young Americans to not write in full,
understandable, proper sentences.
Example:
Me: What's a hashtag?
Friend who never looks up from her iPhone: Well, it's basically a way to...umm...to really express something....uhhmmm,
like...yeah...
Me: Why don't you just use perenthesis or an exclamation point?
Friend who never
looks away from her iPhone:
Ughhhhh, that's booorrriiinnnggggg and it takes too much effooorrrtttt!!

The
number symbol that people keep putting in front of phrases,
like when they are going to do something.
Example:
Thank you twitter for starting
something stupid like
hashtag...
#number is really "number number"
#inmyshoe is really "number in
my shoe"
#a is really "number a"

Hashtag-Noun.
Spawned from the ever powerful Twitter Machine, this symbol (#) has become a new way to add a thought, or some up the thought of, a sentence, giving it more
clarity, and often, more wit. Most commonly found in tweets, FB status, and comments (
in that order)
Example:
"Just eat an entire sleeve of oreos cookies in 8 mins #
highlife"
"
Wegmans didnt have MY kind of Organic Milk, so i had to by that silk shit instead #whitegirlproblems"
"Going
car shopping today because my last car caught on FIRE #nbd
#=Hashtag

When hash smokers
get a quote on the price of the amount of hash they're buying from the dealer. it is written on a
little tag, much like
a price tag and is found at the pickup spot.
Example:
yo man I get the hashtag lastnight behind the
BigD. this mofo is asking 200
big ones for a
teenth
