When two people, whilst engaged in the rapid exchange of witty banter, whether verbally or via text, respond with the exact same answer at the exact same time, thus causing a jinx. Because it occurs during banter or “riffing” it’s considered a riff jinx. Typically it’s something uber obscure or inside joke related, and is most common when the two parties are twin brains.

Becky: Whoa, a riff jinx!!
Greg: How does that happen?
Becky: We’re just two twin brains, twinning.
