text-a-bout

A long and rapid fire text exchange between two or more people, usually about nothing, using mobile devices. Text-a-bouts usually are social in nature and in the past may have been grounds for other forms of conversation such as a phone call. " I was about to call Jane but we got into this big text-a-bout and didn't have to."

Not to be confused with Text-battle which is more combative in nature, a text-a-bout is usually more casual and sometimes flirtatious in nature. Seldom spoken about but you know when it occurs, typically 20-30 texts at a time would comprise a text-a-bout.
