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."

Get the Text lengthmug. 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.

Get the text-a-boutmug. When two people are 'dating', but they only ever text each other. They tell everyone that they're together, but are never go out, talk or do anything together.
Often seen in younger kids that don't know what a relationship is, or just idiots.

Get the Text blizzardmug. Hey, I'm just insulting you blatantly. Believe it or not that gif is just the gif that appeared as a search result. I WILL beat you up though. I am where I am and said what I said and if you take issue with anything that I've said you're going to have to take issue with it in the context of my international fame and sucess as a writer and commentator. Which is why it isn't ACTUALLY indirect. There's nothing INDIRECT happening on my end. I am Hym now.
Hym "No, if I had any real criticism I would come in the for of a wall of text and I know you don't read those. I just want you to know that I watched the video. Really, what's funny about the insults is that you know who I am, you know where I am, you KNOW I can't go anywhere, and you know that acknowledging me would immediately grant me the capacity to go wherever I need to be to call your bluff on not saying things to the faces of people. I'd work out first. Fix the hole in my tooth. Get some antibiotics in me. Bam! Perfectly ready to say whatever I need to say to whoevers face I please. You're just ignoring me. That's all. You can't call my bluff because my status elevates immediately. You have to tolerate the insults because IF YOU DON'T and I'm not the coward you need to frame me as, I gain immediately. Just like that stupid fucking cripple. You see it? You see how fucking irritating that is? You going to work there and tolerate that? You can barely tolerate what I'm going NOW! YOU CHOSE THE SAME RESPONSE I DID! APPARENTLY I GOT IT RIGHT! I AM DOING IT RIGHT AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I TRIGGER THE SAME RESPONSE! HA!"

Get the Wall of textmug. 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.
