Machine Gun Typing

Rapid stop and go typing that one does when instant messaging. Can be identified by the tell tale sounds of:

tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
and so on...

Named because it sounds like and has a similar rhythm to firing an automatic weapon. Usually not that annoying, but can be incredibly irritating when done by that lazy co-worker always slacking off at work or that college roommate that IMs until 5am every night.
Also known simply as "machine gunning".
Coworker 1: "Can you assist us with this project? We need everybody's help, because there's a ton of work."

Coworker 2: "I'm really busy right now. Kind of overwhelmed."

Coworker 3: "Bullshit! All you're doing is IMing your friends. It's pretty damn obvious by your constant machine gunning. Now do your frikkin' job."

I really needed to crash because I had the spins from partying too hard, but I was kept up all night by my herb of a roommate machine gun typing to girls he'll probably never meet in real life.

several people are typing

What your device says when multiple people are typing at once. This can be due to an argument, a large number of people active at once, or somebody asking a question so stupid that it leads to several people typing.
