This term refers to the misinterpretations, misread
emotions, inaccurate texter to textee translations, and overall miscommunications that result from the limitations of conversations
via texting.
"I was telling her how much
fun I had last night, but she thought I was being sarcastic. She totally misread what I was texting. Must have been the textual ambiguity."
Script Example:
Her- "like omg I had so much
fun with u last night :) Did u like the play?"
Him - "yeh it was great"
Her - "are you sure? I know u wanted to go to the game with your friends..."
Him - "no its
ok, I had
fun with u"
Her - "It doesn't seem like u had
fun."
Him - "why do u say that?"
Her - "You just
don't sound like u had
fun."
Him -"what? how? I literally said the play was great and that I had
fun with you"
Her - "yeah but I can tell u didn't mean it"
Him - "yes I did, what are u talkin about?"
Her - "See and now
ur annoyed."
Him - "NO I'M NOT!"
Her - "Don't yell at me! Next time u can go to the stupid game and I'll go to the play alone."
Him - .... (dafuq?)
