Your Definition

A satirical, conversational online "tag" mocking in wordplay the prevalent use of the online conversational and sharing trend known as "hashtags" in American internet subculture.

As opposed to "Hashtags", whose name is derived from the use of the "#" ("number", "pound", "hash") symbol preceding a short phrase, "Hashbrowns" mash full sentences of words together by removing only the grammatical spacing, much like one would do to a potato to make the delicious breakfast side-dish by the same name.

A clever "Hashbrown"-er with an eye for irony will verbosely restate well known hashtags in highly specific terms, similar to the "Joseph Ducreux / Archaic Rap" meme. For more information on memes, visit KnowYourMeme.com

Use a "hashbrown" instead of a "hashtag" when: - The text of your hashtag becomes more than 4 words long - You are tired of hashtags littering your feeds and want to mock your bandwagon hashtagging friends
