Elipsis 

An ellipsis can be added in a text message to indicate awkwardness or that the statement was made in jest.

Thanks... (the elipsis is used because the person saying "thanks" is actually saying, well that's awkward, but thanks.)

ellipsis abuse 

When someone repeatedly, indeed excessively, uses the ellipsis (...) in written text to give an impression of the flow of spoken conversation. Mostly just looks more artificial; usually indicates poor knowledge of internet etiquette on the part of an older generation. Commonly found by old people trying to communicate on Facebook.

Person 1: *insert humorous Facebook status obviously intended for appreciation by friends*
Person 2: *commenting* Hey... how is it going... just checking in... everything's good here... see you later.
Person 1: Wow. Not only did you hijack my status for an irrelevant personal conversation, but you employed serious ellipsis abuse. Thanks, dad.
Person 2: Don't forget the milk... can you call me when you get here... thanks... see you soon.
Ellipsis: THE PAIN!

ellipsis golfer 

An ellipsis golfer is a person who willingly places themself into situations which are simple to solve for them (but may not be so from the perspective of another person) in order to brag about their success. Background (golf): If the tee and the hole in the game of golf are placed at the two focus points of an ellipse respectively, then it does not matter in which direction the golf player hits the ball, as it will always fall right into the hole given sufficient speed.

Look, this dude is telling kids that their homework is a no-brainer. He is such an ellipsis golfer.
