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.

The help text

When a girl has been texting a lad for about a week and they both happen to be on a night out so she'll text him saying the word 'help' so he'll think she's in danger. Some believe it dates back to the original medieval 'damsel in distress' ideology. Said only for attention. Usually sent surrounded by her friends, having a takeaway, having a piss or just generally having a really good time.

'girls I just sent him the help text'
'for fucks sake Jenny not again'

Text Talker

An individual who is still in text mode when writing emails or letters. They write everything abbreviated as most people do in text messages but they continue to abbreviate everything even when not phone texting. This is out of habit but for some its just sheer laziness.

P.S. Sorry I am a text talker...I'm just so use to texting on the phone so now when I write letters its just habit for me to abbreviate everything. LOL!
