Back-and-forth arguing via Facebook status, usually between two people who won't speak directly to one another. Can also be applied to Twitter.
Emily Wesson thinks that some boys just don't know when to quit.
Jack Smith thinks that some girls don't know when to shut the hell up.
David Morrison thinks that some people need to grow a pair and talk like adults instead of playing Facebook tennis.

Get the Facebook tennismug. A phrase normally found scribbled on the stall walls of a public toilet, followed by a magical command to "look left" where the seated participant will be greeted with the words "look right" compelled to do so by the confidence in which it is written, the cycle continues until the player either catches on to the fact that this will never end or...... dies on the seat due to dehydration and starvation.

Get the Toilet Tennismug. The act pounding your balls into the net over and over and over again until you score luv. At night.

Get the Night Tennismug. A game in which two or more people patronise each other in post after post on an internet thread, quickly losing any trace of coherent, respectful argument and regressing to child-like personal attacks.
"Hey man, check out this thread I just cut from the comment feed on that educaton reform piece I wrote. Patro-tennis all the way. Sigh. Why is it so hard to people to argue respectfully, in a way that indicates they're actually interested in challenging their own views and learning from each other?!"

"The above article is patently absurd. Why should the tax payer EVER have to pay for other people's education?! The fact that there is someone out there who even thinks these things is very, very worrying indeed. The idiots are winning."
User 2:
"@User 1: I assume you didn't actually read the article because if you had, you'd see that the third paragraph clearly explains different payment options that don't resort to tax dollars. I think you need your eyes checked?"
User 1:
"Son, you must be very young indeed. Whenever the government talks about education reform, it ALWAYS means more tax dollars. Get back to me in 20 years and I might be interested in your ideas, if you're even capable of growing up, that is."
User 2:
"Fuck you."
User 1:
"So's your face!"

Get the Patro-tennismug. The activity involving a number of text messages sent back and forth between two individuals. This can lead to hand cramps and issues of insecurity and/or frustration. Does he like me? Will she sleep with me? This issue has arisen in the dating misadventures of 3six5dates.
Alternatively, Texting Tennis is a useful form of interrogation.

Get the Tennis Textingmug. The few inches of a person's bare midriff that are exposed when the bottom hem of his/her shirt rides up due to stretching or bending. Seen often during tennis matches.
She got out of the car and stretched mightily, offering us a beautiful glimpse of tennis tummy. We had never known that her navel was pierced.
