Exactly what it sounds like: You're sending a message (usually a NSFW message to your girlfriend/boyfriend) and you realize that you should look before you send - Because that just went to someone whom you REALLY don't want to see it, usually your mother.
Hey babe, my parents aren't home. Let's do it tonight ;)
*5 seconds later*
"OH, SHIT! THAT TEXT WENT TO MOM!"
"You're grounded, young man!"

The act of texting someone on multiple social media sites in the same moment. Leaving them confused or irritated most of the time.
Billy: Yo, why the hell did you text me on snap, instagram and facebook all at the same time? We just got done texting on insta.
Jimothy: Sorry for the Cross Texting. I thought I could get your attention by that quicker.
Example 2:
*George has a conversation with Walter on snapchat, as soon as they stop talking, George sends Walter memes on Instagram, George checks facebook and sees messages from Walter from over an hour ago, deciding to answer him there now.*
Walter: Can you stop Cross Texting me all the damn time!
George: Sorry, I do it religiously.
Jimothy: Sorry for the Cross Texting. I thought I could get your attention by that quicker.

The act of sending unsolicited texts that are not answering a question, making a request, have an obvious response, any response would seem pointless, or are otherwise considered pointless by the recipient. These are texts that serve no two-way-communication-purpose and seem to be just informing you of something that requires no further action or response.
Texter 1: I'm eating breakfast.
Texter 2: man, quit text blogging me
Texter 1: I just wanted to say I'm eating breakfast.
Texter 2: Good for you.
Texter 2: man, quit text blogging me
Texter 1: I just wanted to say I'm eating breakfast.
Texter 2: Good for you.

Having a desire to maintain communication with someone without actually speaking on the phone. Similar to arm's length but more high tech.
Friend: "Johnny's really cool."
Me: "I wouldn't know. He talks so much that I try to keep a text length distance from him."
Me: "I wouldn't know. He talks so much that I try to keep a text length distance from him."
