EDIT: Oh, I could actually check your profile. Some people fill those out.
"Going on about <something>" is an idiom I've encountered in Texas and seems common throughout the Southeastern US as well. You can get the essential meaning by thinking of it as a shortening of "Going on at length about <something>" with strong implication of excessive length, though it can be (and often is) used to apply to whole discussions among multiple people.
Can we just truncate the thread at this point? The entire tree underneath here (as it stands now) is entirely inappropriate. Some of the posts even have > 1 upvotes.
Should they not be -1?

Whats a tweat?
A tweet for carnivores.
It's tweet sweats, as in "I was tweeting so much I started tweating all over my shirt".
I like this riff on my odd misspelling best.
A tweet with meat.
it's what Tweety bird does on Halloween? Tweak or Tweat! :)
It's what Twitter calls the short posts people make on that service.
No, that's how Tweety pronounces the word treat.
Not untrue!
