Stealth Text

A text sent to someone in the same general area as you, usually to tell or ask them something you can't say out loud.

Guy 1: How was the party last night?
Guy 2: It ended up being so lame since only ten people showed up. I had to stealth text my friend across the room to plan an escape.

trigger text

When a woman or man text their significant other with a controversial conversation topic designed to create (or to "trigger") a conversation and / or argument at a time when the other has put the argument on the back burner for the time being. For example, a few hours after a couple end an argument, the man tells his girlfriend that he will be watching the game for the next two hours (thinking the argument is over for now). She goes up to bed, then sends a text about a half hour in to rekindle the unresolved argument from earlier.

I felt like the whole thing was behind us, and she goes and sends me a trigger text when I'm trying to relax and watch a movie.
