意味

A Twitter addict who posts obsessively and spends excessive time on the platform.

A compound of ツイ (from ツイッター, Twitter) and 廃 (from 廃人, haijin, meaning 'ruined person' or 'addict'). ツイ廃 describes someone who tweets constantly, checks their timeline compulsively, and seems unable to stop using Twitter. It is often used self-deprecatingly — users jokingly call themselves ツイ廃 while acknowledging their unhealthy attachment to the platform. Despite Twitter's rebrand to X, the term persists.

1. 1日100ツイートって完全にツイ廃じゃん。
