Tweet-Dropping
When a twitter user has a one-way conversation with a celebrity so
that to the users followers, it seems like they are talking to a
celebrity and thus are instantly über-cool in the eyes of their
followers, when in fact they are a loser with nothing better to do
than have a fake conversation with themselves.
Similar to name dropping IRL, but even more annoying and even less
likely to be true.
Tweet-Dropper: @BritneySpears How did the barbecue go? I heard Justin
Timberlake was there too >.Tweet-Dropper (A few minutes later, without a reply from Britney):
@BritneySpears Haha yes, I suppose after a while it got pretty normal
for both of you, you must go to loads of the same things!
Tweet-Dropper (Again few minutes later, still without any replies from
Britney): Yeah, it's been great! How do you squeeze so much into 140
chars lol? =P
Tweet-Dropper's Follower: Wow, this guy I'm following is having a
conversation with THE Britney Spears!
Tweet-Dropper (To self): They are totally falling for my Tweet-Dropping!

A drop or droplet is a small volume of liquid, bounded completely or
almost completely by free surfaces. A drop may form when liquid
accumulates at the lower end of a tube or other surface boundary,
producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop. Drops may also be
formed by the condensation of a vapor or by atomization of a larger
mass of liquid.
