Squishy Typing 

When you spill your beverage into your keyboard and instead of draining it out, like a normal person, you continue typing like nothing happened much to the bemusement of those who witnessed the spill. Squishy Typing is no delicate matter and practitioners usually have an “Own It!” type mentality. Squishy Typers never tickle the keyboard like an Elmo doll on the cold Christmas morning of 1996. Rather, they opt to pound the keys with the renewed vigor of a frustrated Ludwig van Beethoven raging at the heavens during a tsunami.
Jo: Just picked up my coffee off the warmer as someone asked me a question. I swung around and bonked the edge of my monitor and dumped half the cup in my keyboard...

Levi: I'd like to be sympathetic, but I'm too busy laughing. Hopefully, it was a cheap-o, wired keyboard?

Jo: It is. It's a work keyboard so I’m just squishy typing now.

Levi: I smell a UD entry. Squishy Typing

Jo: Ew Ew!! I'll get Darren on it.

Jo: Confession: I may have baited you into the UD recommendation so I could incorporate our conversation into the example...

Levi: Haha. That makes sense.

Darren: Done.

Cry-typing 

An informal, archaic method of online communication in which a person, via a social media platform or SMS text, expresses something, whilst conveying significant sadness or distress, typically signified by the excessive and incorrect usage of commas, semicolons and intentional typos throughout the message; this occurs typically to the extent that the message is nearly incomprehensible, entirely.

Historically, this means of communication was predominantly used by Tumblr and twitter users, 4Channers and other various types of online degenerates, and is outdated for its extremely obnoxious nature.
