Personal lingo barrier

Personal lingo barrier, (i made this term), means a personal language barrier, where kne person defines how they see certain words and use them in their head differently than others, this may be a result of using a word in slang to the point it loses its original meaning, viewing certain phrases in a different light, or just being misguided as to what a word actually means, either due to being explained it wrongly, remembering wrongly, or any form of miscommunication

Text Barrier

The invisible wall made of nervousness and/or fear of embarrassment that prevents you from texting someone.

Hey dude, I finally overcame the text barrier and texted that hot girl I met last week.

Girl 1: The guy I like texted me last night and we had a whole conversation!
Girl 2: Good for you, the text barrier has been broken!

I said something really embarrassing to Tanya the other night and now there's a text barrier between us.
