Text-traction

When you see someone come in a place and they make you feel awkward and you start texting friends on your phone. Often you text things that don't make sense because you're so flustered. Then you go back in your outbox later to see what you had said and it doesn't make sense and your friend texts back usually "wtf" or "?"

Girl: Dude what was up with that text you sent me?!
Girl 2:What'd it say?
Girl: "You are so cool! why?"
Girl 2': OH that's when my ex walked in and i needed a huge Text-traction!
Girl: Oh girl i got ya
