Fake Twitter account poses as sassy Johnson

What does Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson have in common with Angelina's Right Leg, Paul Ryan Gosling or Kim Kierkegaardashian? Well, thanks to the mysterious folks behind the Twitter account @DMouthsJohnson, Johnson may well be on her way to becoming the next celebrity online personality — whether she had ever planned to or not.

The account, which first tweeted on Sept. 16, imagines what the musings of Johnson might be in the midst of her recent efforts to combat alcohol abuse and hazing with major policy changes that were announced this summer to much campus-wide controversy and discussion. @DMouthsJohnson — with 23 followers and 16 tweets at last check — is a flippant, biting attempt to poke fun at Johnson.

@DMouthsJohnson proves nothing short of #sassy in her messages, in one case tweeting at a fake Dartmouth Greek Letter Organizations and Societies account, "@DartmouthGLOS we pregaming your place or mine before these stupid office hours? #rosé #uknowme."

The feisty @DMouthsJohnson certainly does not seem to hold back, calling out campus figures such as Interim President Carol Folt, former College President Jim Yong Kim and Dartblog writer Joseph Asch '79 with anything but love. Got a problem with @DMouthsJohnson? Don't bother trying to reach her since she admits, "Y'all can treat this like office hours. Ask me something. I promise to give an h̶o̶n̶e̶s̶t̶ answer."

Is an Instagram account next? Looks like we'll have to wait and see. In the mean time, we'll be watching you @DMouthsJohnson. #can'tlookaway
