Humping the Bird

“Humping the Bird” is the act of sending out impulsive vanity tweets over Twitter for purposes of drawing attention to one’s self. Classic humps will typically feature unhinged, divisive, false, offensive or provocative language and will drive outrage among detractors and rally support among fans. Hall of Fame humpers will strive to include all the above in hopes of receiving oodles of free press coverage, most often to compensate for personal anatomical deficiencies, emotional/intellectual defects, sooth bruised egos stemming from failed reality show or sitcom reboots and/or to simply quench sadistic urges.

EXAMPLES: “Golly! The U.S. President really took to humping the bird today, eh Prime Minister?”; “We do not align with the bird humping antics of bigoted, crass, spoiled, needy comedians who are off their meds and whose star has faded to the point of craving attention by any means!”; “There you go again! Humping the Bird with your racist rants against Honduran refugees! SIT DOWN! Put away that damn phone! This Spam loaf casserole isn’y gonna eat itself!”
