   I've been partial to Xitter, with the X pronounced as is is in eg Xiaomi, "zsh". Shitter.

     The, uh, *emerging* journalistic standard for mentioning #Twitter is “X, the _______ formerly known as Twitter,” but there’s some disagreement about whether it’s a site, a platform, an app, etc. So let’s stick to what everyone agrees on — Formerly Known as Twitter — and just use the acronym “FKT.” Example usages: “omg did you see his fkt?!” (noun) or “he fkt it, then lots of people refkt it” (verb).
