With the popularity of Twitter-specific terms integrating themselves into daily speech, the Twittonary is an online tool to get the meanings behind Twitter-related words.

There are two ways to search. You can either look up words like DM, RT and Tweeps directly or browse through all the terms that begin with a particular letter. The service is a collection of submissions that the Tweeple community uses to help save some characters when creating a Tweet.
