Ellipses 

Those flimsy-wrist texters who carelessly toss ellipses into conversations try to make their dull and unemotional response sound dramatic and usually text only out of habit. The Ellipses texter typically does not give two frigid shits about how they sound.

The use of Ellipses comes in handy mid-text when the texter-backer fails to think up a good response, hesitates and generally forgets what the fuck he was going to say.

Text from friend: "Man, I just got dishonorably discharged from ROTC for failing that drug test."

Assfactory: "Bro......what?....like.....dude......what are you.................................................................................................what?"
(the Ellipses kid said, as he browsed the 2 for a dollar movies at Family Video that everyone has seen so many times that once and a while they rent again just to remember why they are 2 for a dollar)

Ellipses Moment 

When you have an awkward moment with someone, and instead of saying "dot dot dot", like you would use in a text message, you call this moment an ellipses moment.

When a douche bag walked in the room, we all felt awkward and declared it was an ellipses moment.

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 

An ellipsis is a series of three or more periods (...) inserted into a sentence to indicate a pause or silence. Ellipses are usually used in dialogue. Ellipses are used today in lieu of other proper punctuation.

An ellipsis can also be used to indicate the ommission or suppression of a word or phrase.

Latin ellpsis, from Greek elleipsis, from elleipein, to fall short.

Plural: ellipses

"I was thinking... well... maybe we could... ummmm.... go out sometime Sally."

"Why don't you just .... off!"
