Hola Chulas y Chulos! How my hijos de la chanclada doing?
Can we talk about how crazy the world is lately? Pura locura, amirite? Things are so crazy that sometimes existing words are inadequate. Well, thank goodness for Twitter and hashtag games because now we have some useful new verbs to choose from. Check out some of my favorite #UsefulNewVerbs tweets below.
Smodding
Smodding:
The act of smiling and nodding.
"Nancy was telling the most idiotic story so I just Smoded until she shut up."

I smod a lot when people are speaking nonsense?
Snobfuscate
Snobfuscate – to deliberately use bigger words than necessary in an effort to simultaneously impress and confuse. #UsefulNewVerbs

I find that when someone snobfuscates it’s usually because they really don’t know what they are talking about, but think they can throw you off the track by using fancy words.
Trumpfuscate
Trumpfuscate:lie and confuse at the same time so as to avoid answering a question "Don't Trumpfuscate your position on taxes #UsefulNewVerbs

Ugh, people who trumpfuscate can’t even speak in complete sentences.

Detweet – the act of immediately deleting a faulty tweet

You got any new verbs you’d like to contribute?
Trumpfuscate…don’t know about that – politicians have been doing that for the last few centuries. Now keytrolling – I like that one.
You’re not wrong about the political tradition of obfuscating.
