Noun: lack of clear communication, or distorted communication
So we told them we'd be at my house but we decided to go to Taco Bell instead. Then we told them to go to Corn's house, then to my house again. I don't know why they're angry. It was just a little miscommunication.

An event while texting where the recipient of your text gains the wrong meaning from your message.
You text "I'm really happy to be at work" to a friend. What you really mean is "I really don't want to be at work." Your friend thinks you are really happy to be at work and life is just grand for you. This is a text miscommunication error.

A period of silence in the middle of a digital chat or after an email you sent, where you fear that something you said might have been horribly misconstrued
OMG, having a massive PMA (Paranoid Miscommunication Afterthought) after telling Jackie that I'd be interested in having No Strings Attached (NSA) sex with her - does she now think I'm not interested in her? Does she think I'm a player and this is my style? Should I clarify on our date tonight? Are we even on for tonight? Why won't she respond on BB IM? Why won't she answer my calls now? How do I make it right? Arghhh!!!

A word that a woman uses when she is wrong in an argument and cannot admit it.
Her: You said the game starts at 6:45, why are you leaving at 5:50?
Him: Because I have to warm up.
Her: Then why did you tell me it starts at 6:45.
Him: Because you asked me what time the game starts.
Her: You knew what I meant. Clearly I wanted to know what time you had to be there, not what time it started.
Him: You asked what time the game starts. How was I supposed to know you wanted to know what time I had to leave if you didn't ask me?
Her: it was just a miscommunication.
