Pavlovian Texting

The phenomenon occuring in groups of people when one person in the group reaches for their cell phone to receive a message, text, etc thereby causing all other members of the group to also check their phones for messages.

Bob: Did you see everyone else look at their phone when my text tone went off? Pavlovian Texting at it's finest.

Joe Bob: Yeah. What a bunch of Pavlovuan texters.

zalgo text

Zalgo text is digital text that has been modified with combining characters (Unicode symbols that are generally used to stack diacritics above and below letters) to appear creepy or glitchy.

Named for a 2004 Internet creepypasta story that ascribes it to the influence of an eldritch deity, Zalgo text has become a significant component of many Internet memes, particularly in "surreal meme" culture. The format of Zalgo text also allows it to be used to halt or impair computer functions, whether intentionally or not. -Wikipedia

I like zalgo text.

When your hand gets a cramp from texting too much and turns into a claw. Could be abbreviated by the letters "TC".

Amy: Sorry I had to call, I have "texting claw" from being so textually active today.
