A behavior deliberately built into word processing programs to replace what we meant to say with what they have been programmed to say, regardless of coherence or context. Frustration (and occasional hilarity) ensue. Most commonly associated with smartphones.

Lisa's text included an inadvertent autocorruption when she texted her boyfriend that she liked the character dildo when she really meant Bilbao.

Autocorrupt is the action taken by your smartphone when texting that changes words that are spelled perfectly and are being used in proper context to words that will now make it appear like your grasp on the English language is as loose as one's bowels after eating at Taco Bell. What was once singular will now become plural and visa versa. Present tense will become past tense. Spaces between words will be replaced with letters like "v" and "b". Even whole words will be changed without any rhyme or reason. What was once a useful tool to help with spelling has now become a mechanism to confuse everyone you text and convince them you are drunker than a skunk.
Typing "Glad I won't have it for long" turns into "Glad Ibwon't have it for long."
Typing "Your text this morning put a big grin on my face." turns into "Your text this morning put a big going on my face."
Typing "Texting slowing you down?" turns into "Texting showing you down?"
Typing "If I do decide to bail after talking..." turns into "If I do decide to build after talking..."
Typing "Autocorrupt strikes again!" turns into "Autocorrupt strike again!"
