T9

An entry mode on cell phones to speed up the process of composing a text message. Works well when used properly, however, can cause major confusion when the change key is not pressed.

T9

A cellphone tool that is really useful if you know how to use it, but generally really annoying because you have to decipher people's texts. The general idea is that you only need one keystroke per letter per word (like the word "the" would be "843" However, some words share keystroke combos and it gets really annoying.

Dumbass: Of (me) and my mother are going to watcher mother (movies) Them (Then) we will have able (cake).
Me: Turn off T9 untill you learn how to use it.

T9

Second generation texting software.

Already a lot easier than Multi-tap, because it suggests words from a list when you click only once on each button.
Therefore 'easy' is 2-3-7-9 with T9, instead of 3-3-2-7-7-7-7-9-9-9 with Multi-tap.

T9 is short for 'Text on 9 keys'.

T9

When you think someone is going to say one thing but then they say another. Usually a 'i thought you were totally going to say something else' moment.

-We were chilling at my house alone last night when-
-(in your head) you did it
-(what is actually said) the movie came on.
-I totally T9d that sentence. I thought you were going to say something else.
