textploitation 

TV shows etc, normally targetted at teenagers, persistently demanding viewers to send text messages from their mobile phone (cellphone), either to win prizes or simply cast a vote (for their favourite contestant, for example).
Some TV programmes seem to exist for this sole purpose, with a flimsy game show format as the pretext for the programme, which is really quite incidental to the persistent demand to text the show. Texts are normally charged at "£1, plus your standard network rate."

"I'm not spending any more money voting on Big Brother - it's just textploitation."

Textplination

A term used for either clarifying, or further bungling your previous text to someone.
Often used to clarify typos, inadvertent texts you intended to send to someone else, or for apologizing for previous day's drunk-texting episode. For typos, an asterisk is usually indicated to fix one word (*example) For other purposes, endless rambling can ensue.

Textplination at it's finest: "Hey reverend, sorry about inviting you bar hopping lol, see you at church Sunday :)"
