    In the closing minutes of his speech to the SNP's annual conference in Perth, Salmond paused for a moment and uttered the soon-to-be-immortal words:

    "Conference.... Hashtag sexy social democracy."

    He was referencing the runaway star of the Scottish independence referendum: @AngrySalmond, the creator of the ever-popular #SexySocialism hashtag.

    But now there's a new, more moderate hashtag in town. And people love it:

    Alex Salmond breaks the internet. #SexySocialDemocracy

    Now we're the party of #sexysocialdemocracy, a calendar can't be far behind. Here's my suggestion for Mr March.

    It's already gaining traction.

    We need to change our border sign to... WELCOME TO SCOTLAND The home of #sexysocialdemocracy

    And the leading lights of the pro-independence movement are signed up.

    Perhaps we should use SSD as a label, to replace Yes or "the 45". #sexysocialdemocracy

    Leading SNP politicians paid tribute to the influence of @AngrySalmond on Scottish politics.

    @AlexSalmond last words to conference #SexySocialDemocracy @AngrySalmond will be delighted!

    And the outgoing first minister managed to get his new hashtag trending across the UK.
