As well as tidying up her Twitter account, Miss Black has also spoken about how she has had to 'smarten up' her dress sense to represent a wide range of people
Posts on Twitter included: 'Smirnoff Ice is the drink of the gods - I cannae handle this c*** man. '
And: 'Woke up beside half a can of Tennents and a full pizza and more money than I came out with. I call that a success!'
In addition Miss Black was also forced to discuss her Twitter history - which she has been using since she was 14 - after writing in unfavourable terms about how she 'hated' Celtic.
In an interview this week, she admitted she wrote 'daft stuff' on the site as a teenager.
As well as tidying up her Twitter account, she has also spoken about how she has had to 'smarten up' her dress sense to represent a wide range of people.
She spent much of her campaign talking about getting rid of 'career politician' Mr Alexander, saying she hated the idea of becoming an MP for a career.
But she also raised the hackles of Labour heavyweight Gordon Brown, who resurrected a video featuring the SNP candidate boasting that a sizeable bloc of MPs at Westminster will hand the SNP 'the power to twist their arm and to get that other referendum'.
Miss Black was captured on film at a pro-independence rally in Glasgow last year, where she said she struggled to stop herself head-butting Labour councillors
She later insisted she had changed her attitude towards No voters when she was challenged about the language she had used

She is a 20-year-old Scottish student who likes football, describes Smirnoff Ice as the drink of gods and is studying for her final exams at university.
But Mhairi Black has pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the election taking the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat from Labour heavyweight and former shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander becoming the youngest MP since 1667 for the SNP.
She took 23,548 votes compared to the former cabinet minister's 17,854 votes as the SNP picked up a record number of seats in Scotland.
Miss Black, who is studying politics, is in her final year at Glasgow University and won the constituency from Mr Alexander, who was first elected when she was just a toddler.
The Partick Thistle football fan says she has always been politically motivated 'particularly for the pursuit of social justice'.
Her father Alan, a retired teacher helped guide her election campaign after having grown up in the east end of Paisley.
Miss Black says she joined the SNP and became a parliamentary candidate after witnessing 'the level of poverty and injustice prevalent in our society.'
On her website she says: 'I truly believe that the only way to bring the powers we were promised, and the social justice that Scotland so desperately needs, is to have a strong group of SNP MP's at Westminster to ensure our voices are heard.'
But she attracted attention early in her campaign when the SNP faced calls to sack her as a candidate in February after footage of her speaking at a pro-independence rally in October last year showed her labelling some of those who rejected independence as 'gullible' and 'selfish'.
