Congratulations, I guess, go this year to Charlie Sheen, who came in at both #23 and, with “tiger blood,” at #90. Justin Bieber is up several spots this year, so he hasn’t quite crested yet. The next-highest celebrity, who didn’t make the top 100, is British boy band One Direction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Trophies,” at #69, refers to the English soccer club Arsenal<\/a>‘s recent defeat, or something.<\/p>\n

The later start to Lent this year means that “snow” doesn’t appear on the list–last year<\/a>, it was #48. Myspace hangs on at #99, dropping 48 places.<\/p>\n

This list draws from 85,000 tweets from March 7-10, 2011, and excludes retweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
