textlation

When someone receives a text and twists the message into something different than what the sender was intending. Too many text creates a convoluted message. Clear communication is not happening and both texters become frustrated/mad or an array of other emotions.

Ranging from sending a text and not receiving a reply soon enough or attempting to have a conversation through a chain of texts. This is when one can get Lost in Textlation.

lost in textlation

Whenever you're texting a friend and you read a message that could be interpreted as honesty or sarcasm, but are not sure without voice tone or facial expressions to differentiate.

Girl: Let's hang out weekend!

Boy: You're the last person I'd want to hang out with.

Girl: Wait, what? Is he joking? Another one lost in textlation.

lost in textlation

This is when a text message was sent meaning one thing, but was misinterpreted by the recipient either because they couldn't hear the intonation in the senders voice, didn't realize it was meant jokingly and/or sarcastically, or, any other misinterpretation of the text message senders true and original meaning.

"Dude, I was definitely joking when I said your Mom was at my house. I can't believe you got mad. It was just "lost in textlation."

lost in textlation

When sacarsm, humor, wit, emapthy, apathy, and really just everything gets twisted, lost, confused, royally screwed, and taken too far via texting and/or sexting.

Emoticons are a lame ass way to make this easier.

Jen's morning after text to Steve: "Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you last night that I have Herpes."

Jen...still waiting....wondering why Steve hasn't called.

Jen should've used a smiley face to prevent her "humor" being lost in textlation. :)
