Is someone who uses Twitter a twit?
Silly names that mean things in different places don't seem to deter Americans (I'm a Brit but I've never heard the slang "toot" before; I guess it might be very regional)

With regards to Twit, that's a great point - although in that instance it seemed like a more intentional slur, as I think I'd normally default to "tweeter".
Because it is a verb substitution it has this kind of wordbomb effect of corrupting every sentence it could be used in. Some examples!
-the latest release by the Jonas brothers made me so happy i just had to toot.
-these toots are a breath of fresh air.
-Welcome! Let's get you tooting!
For when Mastodon social gets it's first celebrity president:
-President Trump released another obnoxious toot in his seemingly never-ending tirade
and finally,
-I toot, therefore I am.
