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.

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"
