Here at The Atlantic Wire, we respect and value the social media editors who share the links that make our jobs easier. Sometimes, though, we have no idea what they're talking about. So after a day of staring at Twitter, we're sharing our favorite head-scratchers.

"Cucumber charge," of course, is a shorter and slightly more mystifying way of saying "allegations Spanish produce is the source of the massive E. coli outbreak currently threatening Europe."
