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.

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.

When one receives a text from one's mother. Usually it involves incorrect use of acronyms. For example "LOL" is used for "Lots of love", WTF is used as "Well that's fantastic" and ROFL is a misspelled use of the name of TV presenter and all round good guy, Rolf Harris.
This is also a text with overly abbreviated words to save on the cost of a message despite it not being 1992 and they don't cost anything on most service plans.
Also, at this time of year (then end of it) you may receive a mum text at around 9.30pm on new years eve to "beat the rush at midnight" like texts are fighting their way through the traffic of the ether
