An original tweet is an original posting by a twitter user and is not a retweet, quote, or reply.
The "-filter" can be combined with a search query to exclude retweets, quotes, and replies during tweet extraction.
In this exercise, you will extract tweets on "Superbowl" that are original posts and not retweets, quotes, or replies.
