New words to live by: “Predestitweetalism”

Time, once again (it has been a couple of months), for New words to live by. This is a word or phrase not currently in use in the U.S. English lexicon, but might need to be considered. Other words, such as slug monkey, obsurd, crumpify, subsus, flib, congressed, tantrumony, and others, can be found by clicking on the tags below. Today’s New Word is created by taking two nouns and creating a new word. In this instance, the new word does not borrow from the names of the old words, but from their definitions. Without further waiting here is the new word: predestitweetalism.

OLD WORDS
predestination, n. the state of being or an act that is predestined, predetermined, or a foregone conclusion.

tweet, n. Digital Technology. the digital message posted on Twitter or more generally, any social media platform or website.

NEW WORD
predestitweetalism, n. knowing beforehand what the reaction is going to be a post, but posting it anyway. The predetermined reaction is usually a negative one, as is the case with most predestination theology or beliefs.

Used in a sentence: Noun. She knew the moment before she posted her updated what the reaction was going to be. Yet, her foreboding sense of predestitweetalism did not keep her from posting it.
