hashtag

(redirected from hashtagging)

hashtag

1. noun A word or phrase (written without spaces) preceded by the pound sign or hash mark (#) in a post on social media, meant as a way to add additional information, humor, or a searchable tag to the post. "Hashtag" is sometimes said humorously in conversation as well. She used the "unedited" hashtag, but that picture looks too good to not have a filter. A: "What a great day we've had!" B: "I know! Hashtag blessed." A: "Glad to see you're having ice cream before even eating dinner." B: "Hashtag priorities, Mom."
2. verb To mark a post with such a hashtag. She hashtagged that picture "unedited," but it looks way too good to not have a filter. Do not hashtag this picture of donuts "juice cleanse," that's just mean. OMG, are they engaged now? She hashtagged that picture of them "fiancé"!

real talk

interjection, slang A statement used to underscore that someone or something is conveying an honest and candid message. Often used as a social media hashtag. I know I've been posting pretty pictures on social media this week, but, real talk, I've been dealing with crippling anxiety behind the scenes. A: "OK, you didn't hear it from me, but real talk? Alex and Annie are getting divorced." B: "No!" He says you're not good enough for him, but he's definitely not good enough for you. #realtalk

Hashtagging might not be your top priority but it should definitely be reconsidered.
#Hashtag It To Get More Engagement On Social Media
As a matter of fact, in this work I examine hashtags as 'linguistic items' produced through a potentially new word-formation mechanism, namely hashtagging, which would add to already existing morphological processes such as blending, clipping, compounding, etc.
In this paper, I argue that hashtagging could be looked at as a new morphological mechanism producing items, called hashtags, whose linguistic nature may be difficult to identify and relate to any traditional part of speech.
We may regard them as representative of a high degree of creativity displayed by hashtagging in Italian.
To sum up, what the different types of English and Italian hashtags show is that hashtagging seems to be more productive and to display a higher level of creativity in the Italian component, with the inclusion of non-standard varieties of the language.
It further suggests that the hashtag can also be regarded as the product of a new morphological process, that is, hashtagging, a mechanism that can generate an almost unlimited variety of forms by lumping words together, and thus generating new 'linguistic items'.
Similarly, hashtagging does not correspond to any of the already existing morphological processes (like compounding, blending, agglutination).
As 'linguistic products' of the mechanism of hashtagging, hashtags are making language lexically richer in catchy phrases (e.g.
The 'hashtag': a new word or a new rule?
Also, don't forget your spelling skills when you go hashtagging. An incorrect hashtag will leave you out of the community since your message will not be part of the conversations where you want it to be included.
