text braking

Intentionally delaying your response by text so as to avoid the quick back and forth that would be expected during an actual conversation.

Although I was free at the moment, I applied text braking to the conversation.

Text Sniping

The act of noticing someone who you know in a crowd or some other public situation and sending them a text from an unknown position referring to something which they are doing at the time e.g. "Reading by the lakeside, how very avant garde" this simulates the 'shot out of nowhere' effect of a sniper.

<Maria is having coffee>
Scott: (unseen by Maria) <observes Maria from a distance and sends a text> "ooh two sugars, bit of a sweet tooth aren't you?"

Maria: <checks phone and begins looking around aimlessly> replies "where are you?"

Scott: "I'm text sniping, so you have to guess"

Text worm

An unnecessarily long, angry text message usually sent by an ex wife. Text worms can contain an overdose of grammar, such as I can not, or You have, Repetition of sentences, stuff that doesn't make any sense to you, swear words, and/or combinations of swear words such as: (And I have actually seen this) Jackhole. Most text worms only need to be responded with "Ok" or "Thanks" maybe even "Wow". If you want to piss them off and make them send shorter, faster texts then send an emoji of a person speaking. If you want to ignore them turn off your phone and put it under something where you can't hear the dings.

The text worm was long and angry, and it didn't make any sense to me so I just said yes.
