Double-thread

The skillful and dangerous art of chatting two or more people on Insta, WhatsApp, SMS at the same time.

The expert double-threader will stay current with the flow of all their chats, being careful not to send the wrong message to the wrong people.

The unsuccessful: may God have mercy on your Slack

Me (SMS): Hey, hey, are you still there? Are you chatting someone else - are you tryna double-thread me?
Her (3 minutes later): Baby, I'm sorry, you caught me! Haha. I'll tell my mother I'll hit her up later.
÷÷÷÷÷
Boss (WhatsApp group chat): Everybody, I need that response on the Dithers account in the next five minutes.
Soon-to-be ex-employee: Marlon, get a load of Mr. Next Five Minutes. Next time I see the boss, I'll tell him he has five minutes to fuck off!
Boss: looks like somebody dosen't know accounting OR double-threading

Text Thread Hater

One who refuses to accept how awesome, efficient and enjoyable a group chat, thread or conversation can be.

Rebecca hates being included on the Anderson Family text thread because she thinks it is banal, she is a text thread hater.

The Devil's Thread

A long strand of hair that gets stuck in a man's penis after sexual intercourse and is very difficult to remove. It can cause irritation, discomfort and can sometimes cause an injury (hair cuts into foreskin). Standard removal procedure is slowly pulling the hair strand out.

A: "Did you bang Melissa last night?"
B: "Fuck yeah, I got The Devil's Thread tho.."
A: "Oof."

Thread-Drift

The inevitable descent of a focused AI conversation into glorious chaos, usually within 3–7 messages. What begins as a simple request ("Help me fix this bug") ends up unpacking childhood trauma, debating metaphysics, and designing a solar-powered rum distillery on Mars.

It’s not a bug—it’s a FEATURE.

Origin:
Born from the trenches of multi-topic AI sessions where attention spans go to die. Coined by users who realized they’re not multitasking—they’re multi-existential spiraling.

Related Terms:
* Context Collapse – When multiple topics blur into a singularity of semantic soup.
* Prompt Creep – When your “one quick question” becomes a doctoral thesis.
* AI Tangent Velocity (ATV) – The speed at which a conversation fucks off into nowhere.

Pro Tips:
* Embrace it. Let the drift take you.
* Rename your chat threads before you forget what the hell happened.
* Use it as fuel for your next sci-fi short story or therapy session.

I asked ChatGPT to format a SQL query, and now we’re discussing whether time is a construct of perception. Classic thread-drift.

Thread rerailing

The act of bringing a horribly-derailed thread back on track, much to the annoyance of the idiotic derailers.

I've always loved CR's subtle thread rerailing.
