Text back tempo

the rate at which you get reply text messages from a friend/guy.

a high TBT would indicate interest or a good friend

a low TBT means they're not really interested or have more intersting things to do than text back to you.

makeup text

Kurt and I got in a pretty bad fight today because I got mad that he always texts instead of calling me. Everything is fine between us now though. We had some amazing makeup text afterward!

Text Delay

The event which happens during an IM or Text message when a question is asked along with a statement, resulting in a reaction to the statement and a second statement by the first person. Finally the initial question is answered and the delay causes a mix up in the conversation.

Text delays are sometimes caused by slow typers or stories that take a long time to type.
