phantom text

A text that you swear you got. Either by feeling the vibration on your leg, or hearing your tone, or in the worst of cases both. But when you check your phone you are left feeling cheated.

A texting miscarriage.
Guy 1: "Dude, let's do something"
Guy 2: "I texted those girls I met yesterday, I think they just responded. Let me see what they said... Oh nevermind, it was a phantom text..."
Guy 1: "stfu man, nobody likes you."

Scrabble Text

When you send someone a text message "1" letter at a time to form a sentence vertically like scrabble. You turn 1 text message into 20+!! Best opportunity for success is when their sleeping or you know they aren't near their iPhone.

Emotions might include: Feeling special, afraid, anxious, or confused.
EXAMPLE: Dave (waking up hungover):

"Dude…...Frankie just sent me 22 text messages, what did I do last night??" looks at text message Awwww whatta dick, it's just a scrabble text!!

EXAMPLE: Female you meet night before at a bar (on her lunch break from work next day):
"WTH, just meet this guy last night and he's blowing up my phone. This fool is psycho, he just sent me 16 text messages?!?" looks at text message……Damn, I just got scrabble text!

Tactical text

A text message that is sent- usually as quickly as possible- in a situation when one should not be texting or at an otherwise inconvenient or risky time; hence the need for the text to be sent in a tactical manner. For example, during school when phones are not allowed, during a movie at the theater or when playing a video game that cannot be paused (like an online game).
"Sorry for going AFK for a bit, I had to send a tactical text"
"Bro, I was tactical texting her the whole time Mr. Davis was lecturing, and he didn't suspect a thing"
