Key smash

A key smash is exactly that, a random smashing of the keyboard that conveys intense or overwhelming emotion that cannot be expressed through words. However, there is an art to this trade. For the perfect key smash, use the "Home Keys" on your keyboard; this includes the letters a,s,d,f,j,k,l,; as well as g and h. The typical start letters are "a" and "j" but any of the Home Keys can be used. Once you have perfected your key smash, you can begin throwing in letters from the other rows for a personal touch. It is a staple of the LGBT community and a versatile conversational tool.
The key smash can be used in virtually any scenario to display urgency or intensity of one's emotions or situation.

They do it by slamming their hands onto the keyboard, typing random keys, or wiping their hands across the keyboard. Keysmashes can also be used to express shock, and sometimes anger.

Keysmashing

When a bottom feels an intense emotion, they tend to get visibly flustered. Since this is harder to express through just text, the bottom may keysmash. Their hands randomly smash out a string of letters, numbers, or whatever gets in the way of their flailing fingers.
Example of keysmashing: "hficjfnhdyhanbdnnmnn Andy, no... That's just too good omfg"

Example of it being used in a sentence:
"Sean is such a sub, bro. Look at the keysmashing. You can just tell. He would totally be into you."
