Pronunciation: KLIK eh tee TWIT

Sentence: Jan doesn't need instant messaging capability because she is more inclined to clicketytwit her twitter page, Hotmail mailbox, and Facebook page in quick succession to see if she has any new messages. She doesn't even remember what "real time" is anymore. She likes to rapidly clicketytwit on Evite to see "Who is Coming" or who has sent "Regrets" to her parties and gatherings. She was busy doing this one late morning, sitting around in her pajamas, when she suddenly realized one of the events she had posted an invitation for was her own wedding, and that it was about three hours later that same day!

Etymology: Click + lickety-split (rapidly) + twit (could refer to twitter, or to a person who is a twit, take it however you like)
