Hourly Definitions @WordDefHourly

This bot is getting shut down for the foreseeable future. This is because Twitter's post ratelimits at some point got decreased from 50/day/token to 17/day/token (~1/3rd), meaning you would need multiple tokens (and accounts) to run one hourly bot 24/7. Blame Twitter.
