- 2014, Daleen Berry, Geoffrey Fuller, The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese
  But it was also a subtweet, addressed to one person but meant for someone else entirely.
- 2015 February 19, Dean Burnett, “OK, don't read this article about passive-aggressive behaviour. Honestly, it's fine”, in The Guardian‎, ISSN 0261-3077:
  Curt texts, unanswered emails, Facebook statuses declaring “someone” to be an idiot, the notorious subtweet; if you can communicate with it, people can be passive aggressive with it.

Verb

subtweet (third-person singular simple present subtweets, present participle subtweeting, simple past and past participle subtweeted)

Hypernym: vagueblog
Coordinate term: vaguebook
- 2014, danah boyd, It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens (page 69)
  More often than not, they employed this term when referencing various teen dramas that occurred between friends and classmates that required insider knowledge to decode. In other words, teens subtweet to talk behind someone else's back.
- 2019, Gretchen McCulloch, chapter 6, in Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language, Riverhead Books, →ISBN:
  A less subtle way of navigating the relationship between the public and the obscure is found in subtweeting or vaguebooking (vague facebooking), the art of posting elliptically about a social situation without naming names.
(by extension, neologism, transitive) To speak obliquely about (a person).
- 2017, Aaron Blake, "Chuck Schumer sent a pretty pointed message to Donald Trump, right in front of him"
  Schumer's remarks were oblique enough that no one will be able to say for sure whether he was subtweeting Trump.
