tete-a-text

That strange condition of instant intimacy afforded through text message conversations. An unanticipated emotional closeness facilitated through the use of messaging technology.
Susan had simply exchanged glances and phone numbers with that guy who tried to pick her up on Friday. Over the next two days, though, through a series of tete-a-texts, she was amazed at all the personal stories about herself she'd given away.

Sender Paralysis (via IM / Email or Text)

Those several moments of temporary paralysis just after you realize you just sent the filthiest joke / dirtiest pictures / inappropriate comment / via any electronic method, to the one person you would never want to.
Example A:

You: Looking at "Hot Bubbles.wmv" "That's hilarious, I'll send that to Bob"

*Click*

You sit there with your mouth open realizing you just sent it to Bob your BOSS, not your cool friend Bob.

You're screwed. You are a victim of Sender Paralysis (via IM / Email or Text). You can't move or speak.

Example B:

You: "Hi Mom yeah we had great weekend at the beach; I'll send some pictures, luv ya, bye."

You scroll through your phone and select a few shots and....
*Click*
you realize you just sent a picture of yourself pleasing your boyfriend on the ride home while while he's driving.

The look on your face frozen in terror is Sender Paralysis.

Usually subsides after a week of shame and humiliation. Take two laughing coworkers, a healthy dose of guilt from your Mom and call your shrink.

booty text

When a friend sends the same message to more than one friend hoping to get a response. (This may also be referred to as a "mass text")

Victims of the booty text may feel deceived by the sender. While reading the message, they are not aware of the impersonal nature of the text.

The respectful implementation of the booty text involves letting the recipients know that the text is, in fact, a booty text.

Origin: The term, booty text, originally referred to guys who send the same message to multiple girls, hoping to get laid.
Janine: Maria texted me last night asking me to go to the movies.
Jody: She texted me the same thing.
Janine: Ughh, It was a booty text!

Example of a booty text: "I'm so bored, what's up girlie?" (The sender is desperate and hopes that any of the recipients will respond.)

Example of a respectful booty text: "I'm super bored, do you want to hang out? this is a booty." (The sender is desperate, yet respectful of the recipients.)
