A chatastrophe is any typically sudden, disastrous event that occurs during online chat- whether in chat rooms or private messaging.
Room Two was noted as a peaceable room of cozy fellowship chat amongst civilized habitués. After Room One experienced the chatastrophe of a vengeful bot-loading booter, Room One chatters jumped ship and found their way over to Room Two like so many flotsam-borne rats. This sat uneasily upon the regulars of Two, as the Oners were a virtual rogues gallery of the more virulent personality disorders. In their turn, the Room Two chatters regarded the influx of Oners as a chatastrophe.
When your profile name is 'Lost Chats'. In social networking and dating apps, when you have saved conversations, and the network lost your saved conversation data. In actuality, people get tired of dating apps because they can hold a negative social stigma for meeting a partner or for just looking to get laid because it makes them look like a slut. People get frustrated and delete the said dating app deleting all its data with it. Specifically notable for this is Grindr. After a person gives in to being a slut again, they download the app, and log back in. They now discover all their conversations have been erased. They label their profile name lost chats to let the other headless torso sluts know to send a picture of themselves or say something to refresh their memory of who they are because they can't keep track of an entire city you're whoring yourself out to.
Chatspeak, aka netspeak. This is a form of speech in which one shortens words and replaces the letter "s" with the letter "z" in an effort to save time and look cool. Chatspeakers also rarely use capitalization or correct punctuation.
Chatspeakers are generally looked down on by people who can actually spell and who have enough self-respect to type out a real sentence.
Chatspeak can never be considered 'literate.'
