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.

" I was about to call Jane but we got into this big text-a-bout and didn't have to."

Text Blogging

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.

text ninja

n. name given to anyone who had the ability of texting long coherent messages on their phone without looking. this was usually done back when phones had button keyboards and where not touch screen.

Chelsea can hold a conversation with you and simultaneously text behind her back. The ultimate text ninja.

The art of the text ninja has disappeared over the years.

Becoming a text ninja requires patience and the memorization of the "qwerty" style keyboard.
