[Ads-l] hashtaggy: 2010

[Barretts Mail]

A. In an interview today between Steve Inskeep of NPR and Representative Lauren Underwood, Underwood uses the word “hashtaggy" to mean oversimplified.

UNDERWOOD: So what if we talk about creating a modern financial aid system where we have Pell Grants that reflect the true cost of college and we have subsidized student loans that fill that gap? Some people might call that free college for everybody or whatever. But the people that speak in these, like, hashtaggy-type (ph) phrases do not always have lots of solutions underneath it. And...

INSKEEP: The hashtag is the polarizing thing. It may draw some support to the idea, but it also drives people away.

UNDERWOOD: Right. And I'm into solutions.

I assume “ph” means phonetic.

The UD has “hashtaggy” to mean excessive use of hashtags (2016). https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hashtaggy <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hashtaggy>

Flipboard makes social media pretty ... beautiful in fact — something that cannot be said for clunky Facebook or hashtaggy Twitter.

This morning, #Express Yourself is trending almost as high on Twitter as “BornThisWay or any of its hashtaggy permutations.

I know some people loathe hashtags, but I think they can be fun to use, even when they’re used with no real hashtaggy purpose.
