Your Definition
A term preceded by a pound (#) sign, embedded in tweets, forum posts, or other online communications. Used by people who are ignorant of how content-indexing systems work, thinking that they have to create identifiers or catchphrases to make their content searchable and more prominent. The number of these tags embedded in a person's communications is proportional to their self-importance and insecurity.
