textploitation 

TV shows etc, normally targetted at teenagers, persistently demanding viewers to send text messages from their mobile phone (cellphone), either to win prizes or simply cast a vote (for their favourite contestant, for example).
Some TV programmes seem to exist for this sole purpose, with a flimsy game show format as the pretext for the programme, which is really quite incidental to the persistent demand to text the show. Texts are normally charged at "£1, plus your standard network rate."

"I'm not spending any more money voting on Big Brother - it's just textploitation."

Texplanation 

To send a text message to someone with a lame explanation of why you can't attend your rendez-vous/ party / hang-out / drinks. (Usually a lie.) The main purpose of the texplanation is to avoid the awkward phone conversation where the person to which you are talking totally knows you're lying and doesn't want to accuse you.

Jenny: Ugh, I don't feel like going to Brooke's graduation get together with her family. Her mom's boobs are awful and hard and it hurts when she hugs me. I have to send that bitch a texplanation.

*Whips out cellphone*

Text message: "Hey Brooke! Sory i cant come 2 ur party! my cat is ded and im jst 2 sad!"

Thank God I could texplain my way out of that!
