Cry-typing 

An informal, archaic method of online communication in which a person, via a social media platform or SMS text, expresses something, whilst conveying significant sadness or distress, typically signified by the excessive and incorrect usage of commas, semicolons and intentional typos throughout the message; this occurs typically to the extent that the message is nearly incomprehensible, entirely.

Historically, this means of communication was predominantly used by Tumblr and twitter users, 4Channers and other various types of online degenerates, and is outdated for its extremely obnoxious nature.
Instance of cry-typing:

Girlfriend: babe my plant just died ugh

Boyfriend, trying to smash: o::;mg bae,,,, n;o....., that plan;;;t meea nnt;;;; the wo:;;;,,,rld to m;;;e.......

Machine Gun Typing 

Rapid stop and go typing that one does when instant messaging. Can be identified by the tell tale sounds of:

tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
*pause*
tappity-tappity-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-CLICK
and so on...

Named because it sounds like and has a similar rhythm to firing an automatic weapon. Usually not that annoying, but can be incredibly irritating when done by that lazy co-worker always slacking off at work or that college roommate that IMs until 5am every night.
Also known simply as "machine gunning".
Coworker 1: "Can you assist us with this project? We need everybody's help, because there's a ton of work."

Coworker 2: "I'm really busy right now. Kind of overwhelmed."

Coworker 3: "Bullshit! All you're doing is IMing your friends. It's pretty damn obvious by your constant machine gunning. Now do your frikkin' job."

I really needed to crash because I had the spins from partying too hard, but I was kept up all night by my herb of a roommate machine gun typing to girls he'll probably never meet in real life.
