Clarification of the Niebu-lous Niebu Etiquette

From the category of “things that keep me up at night,” lately I have been pondering the proper etiquette and usage of a recent addition to the twitterslang lexicon, the word niebu.
As has been passed down the hallowed halls of the Twitterdom, James Chartrand from Men with Pens originally coined this word one bright Canadian day when bidding his fellow tweeters a good morning, he did so with his fingers one key to the left of the spot they normally inhabit, and voila, a linguistic phenomenon was born.
As I don’t want to step on any of the Twitteratti’s toes, my first concern is about when I can start using this word. I mean, how long should you be a-twittering before you can go from being newbie to niebu-bie?
Dave Navarro from Rock Your Day, has elaborated upon usages to a degree but I have further questions and concerns that I would like addressed. As Twitter seems to be the epicenter of niebu-isms, it is to this circle that I direct the following:
Dave says it’s okay to “sacrifice a couple of virgins to Niebu” and to allow that “niebu happens” but is it acceptable to shout “Niebu if you’re horny?” Or “shake your niebu-ty!” And if it’s done by yourself is it called niebu-sterbation?
If cut myself on the packaging of my new iPhone in June, will it be know as a niebu-boo or just niebu-gative thinking? Is niebu-lotta about a whole lot of niebu going on and will it happen in a niebu-second? And will we become niebu-sters when we get our niebu on or is that just about being niebu-dexterous?
And lastly, is “niebu what happens when we are making other plans?”
I could go on ad niebu-seum but that’s enough niebu-lery for me today. I thank you in advance for your advice.

Hmmm… I think you’re attempting to outrank us all as position number one on Google for Niebu.
Ahh, my brainchild outgrows me in wonderous ways…
I wish you much Niebu. It’s very clear that you care deeply about spreading the Niebu way, and your concerns are valid.
As long as it’s all good, it’s Niebu.
Niebu.
No, not yours.
Mine. Google rankings, that is. You all can have the rest.
OMG Bob, my sincerest apologies for not being duly diligent in my research of the niebu phenomenon.
Had I been, I would have noted your contribution here in http://writing-journey.com/blogging/brain-dump-may.
I’ll never let it happen again!
