text teasing

When someone texts you, often about something important, you text them back, then…….SILENCE.

"I'm so over Jennifer. She's famous for text teasing. She always leaves me hanging with these super important texts, I respond right back, then NOTHING. I'm gonna start calling her out on it…"

text curb

When you receive a bunch of texts from someone and you reply with a one word answer, essentially blowing them off so that they stop texting you.

Is that all you have to say to me? I sent you all these heartfelt texts and you give me a one word text?? Are you giving me the text curb??

text braking

Intentionally delaying your response by text so as to avoid the quick back and forth that would be expected during an actual conversation.

Although I was free at the moment, I applied text braking to the conversation.

Text worm

An unnecessarily long, angry text message usually sent by an ex wife. Text worms can contain an overdose of grammar, such as I can not, or You have, Repetition of sentences, stuff that doesn't make any sense to you, swear words, and/or combinations of swear words such as: (And I have actually seen this) Jackhole. Most text worms only need to be responded with "Ok" or "Thanks" maybe even "Wow". If you want to piss them off and make them send shorter, faster texts then send an emoji of a person speaking. If you want to ignore them turn off your phone and put it under something where you can't hear the dings.

The text worm was long and angry, and it didn't make any sense to me so I just said yes.
