texting the water

Texting your friend a cautious 'Hey' when you haven't heard from them in an unusually long time, in order to check that they're not pissed off with you.

Often results in 1) a responding 'Hey' if clear of blame, or 2) pointed silence from the other party if you are guilty of an unknown offence.
Person A: Hey
Person B: YO WASSUP BRUH, AIN'T HEARD FROM YA IN DIZZAYS. HOW U BEEN MAN.
Person A: Soz man, was just texting the water to make sure you weren't mad at me for throwing up in your pool the other night. Glad we're cool

Person C: Hey
(No reply from Person D).

Additional information - Person C hooked up with Person D's sister and then never called her.

Confident Texter

The act of being overly confident during times of texting and FB chatting, while when seeing the textee in person lacking any social skills at all.
Yeah this person said so much stuff to me when he/she texted me last night like "you are so beautiful we need hangout right now!" The next day I saw him/her in class and all he/she said was "hey". Such a confident texter.

texting chicken

When you and a love interest who are pretending that you're not actually into each other for some stupid reason or another see who can go the longest without giving in and texting the other person. Usually unspoken. Usually.
We've been playing texting chicken for three whole days. If I text him first, I'm the desperate one. But if I don't text him, bitch crown is on.

drive-by texting

A text message sent by someone to try to stir things up, but when a response is made, no further messages are sent.
Similar to a drive-by shooting because after the assailant has disappeared, the victim is left riled up and frustrated.
Girl (out of the blue): "Haven't missed a beat have you?"

Guy: "What makes you say that?"

An hour passes with no response

Guy: "Drive-by texting?"

pillow texting

verb: "Pillow texting" happens in place of pillow talk - when you are not together but each of you are in your respective beds texting each other "good night"s, "wish you were here"s, etc. This invariably leads to sexting.
TJ - Our pillow texting doesn't hold a candle to our pillow talk. ;-)

Ann Marie - Pillow texting will have to tide us over until we can have our real pillow talk. :-*
