Title text: [title-text similarly alphabetized] |
Explanation
An epigram is a brief, interesting, usually memorable and sometimes surprising or satirical statement.
Just in case you have been living under a rock for the last several years, Twitter is a short message social network / communication service. All messages on the service need to be under 140 characters, including private messages.
"For Example, Epigrams..." The entire sentence, when sorted word-by-word is alphabetized backwards—hence the joke, and hence "whoa"....
And so is "Title-text similarly alphabetized". Backwards-alphabetized, that is.

But sometimes they are!
I rewrote your third line as
"To express a thought." --108.162.216.45 21:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- The first post works exactly the same way with "sixteen" :P --172.69.54.165 14:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
"Whoa." is also an example, but one word examples are particularly easy! --DrMath 06:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I can't see the image... what's wrong with it ? --KoundelitchNico (talk) 14:26, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I just don't find the alphabetization thing to be all that impressive. Everything is written like that. Am I missing something about the very concept? (C comes before O, then jump back to the start, N, back to the start, C, E, P and T.) (I just don't find: I J U back to start S T back to start D O back to start N T back to start F I N back to start D) (Epigrams employing: G N back to start I Y back to start O back to start L P back to start M back to start E back to start S back to start M back to start A R back to start G I P back to start E) 108.162.242.5 02:00, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Words wholly taken (not letters individually) do come backward alphabetized. --173.245.62.74 12:56, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Twitter allows up to 280 characters now. The explanation needs some updating. 172.68.253.5 10:28, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
