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"

textamarketer

Similar to a telemarketer, a textamarketer spams you with unwanted information in an attempt to sell you things you never wanted via text message.

While I was at dinner, some textamarketer blew up my phone trying to convince me I could get $30,000 working from home-- how ridiculous!

Text-lashing

A series of at least three consecutive, uninterrupted texts in which the sender scolds the recipient. Modern day equivalent of a tongue-lashing.

While Randy set down his smart phone for a few minutes to attend to something, his girlfriend used her smart phone to unleash a severe text-lashing over something he had done.
