[Ads-l] crybully, crybullies, crybullying: new in 2015?

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Thanks for your note, Christopher. Below are a few pertinent tweets. I
did not attempt a comprehensive search, and the meanings of these
early examples in 2010 and 1011: crybully, crybullied, crybullying are
often unclear (to me). In addition, further below is a link to Barry's
entry on the topic.
