Text Pressure

text pressure is when you are with a group of people that are texting, and you feel obligated to take out your phone in order to be equally cool and not stand out from the rest.

dude1: who are you texting?
dude2: my friends kristina, kate, matt, and jen.
dude1: oh thats cool... *takes out phone and scrolls thru contacts*
dude2: no text pressure, bro!

Text Impression

A misunderstanding caused by the inability to infer inflection and tone from a text message. Sometimes caused by the sensitivity of the recipient and sometimes by the ambiguity of the sender.

Bob: Dude, I got in a huge fight with Jenny last night and it turned out it was totally my fault.

Bill: What happened bro?

Bob: She sent me a text and I got the text impression she was making fun of me when in fact she was being sweet.

Bill: That sucks man, next time don't be so sensitive...

text bracket

Groups of specially selected people in your cell phone book in which you customize texts for at holidays or special events.

At Christmas, you might send a "Merry Christmas, cutie" to old hook-ups or "plan b - back-up" hook-ups in your life,

while you might send a "Happy Holidays, I love you" to only your close friends and family.

"Happy Hanukkah" might go to a text bracket of your Jewish friends.

These three types of scenarios are different "text brackets".

Which text bracket do you fall into in your friends lives?
