Text-ican Standoff

When a man and a woman start dating, but one of them loses interest and stops texting, and the other person doesn't want to send another text until the person that has lost interest responds to their previous text for the fear that they are seeming desperate. Similar to the Mexican Standoff but with texts not guns.

Mike - Hey Jason, how's it going with the girl you've been seeing?

Jason - Not good.. I sent her a text a few days ago and she hasn't responded yet, so I'm in a Text-ican Standoff.

Trojan horse text

A text that lulls someone with read receipts into a false sense of security with the iMessage preview thinking they can safely assume what the rest says, but the second half of the text is the real message.

My friend takes FOREVER to reply unless I send a Trojan horse text:

“I need to tell you something. Ever since the day I first met you, I have always loved how our friendship has been strictly platonic. Can you give me a ride to the airport tomorrow?”

Bed bugs text

(n.) a text so risky that the sender sends it as they are falling asleep, so they can avoid the feeling of regret that immediately follows.

The text can be so exceedingly treacherous that it will frighten away bed bugs and other night critters.
