Verbal Ellipsis

The spoken (unspoken?) equivalent of "..." on instant messenger. This is very similar to being given the "Silent Treatment."
Patty is pissed because I made a joke about her big butt last night. She has been giving me the verbal ellipsis all day.

Ellipses

Those flimsy-wrist texters who carelessly toss ellipses into conversations try to make their dull and unemotional response sound dramatic and usually text only out of habit. The Ellipses texter typically does not give two frigid shits about how they sound.

The use of Ellipses comes in handy mid-text when the texter-backer fails to think up a good response, hesitates and generally forgets what the fuck he was going to say.
Text from friend: "Man, I just got dishonorably discharged from ROTC for failing that drug test."

Assfactory: "Bro......what?....like.....dude......what are you.................................................................................................what?"
(the Ellipses kid said, as he browsed the 2 for a dollar movies at Family Video that everyone has seen so many times that once and a while they rent again just to remember why they are 2 for a dollar)

ellipsist

Ellipsis people, more succintly "ellipsists", are Internet citizens with a distinctive writing style. Whenever and wherever possible, they will abuse and misuse the period key. Despite their apparent liking for this specific form of punctuation, ellipsis people almost never use it correctly, sometimes typing ten or more periods at a time, and often settling for two. Some end almost every single sentence in a text with this favored device.

The reasons for this are unknown. It is speculated that they believe the ellipsis adds an air of mystery or intelligence to their post. This second point can be confusing, as many ellipsis folk are awful spellers, and often unable to make use of even basic logic. It may represent the ellipsist's own speaking style, perhaps reflecting a quiet voice, or a tendency to trail off.

All that can be said for sure, is that it is really fucking annoying.
