Text Lag 

The phenomenon when you go to send a text, or google something, on your phone and realize that you were already in the middle of some other task that you must finish before texting which leads to another task and then you forget the original task or text. Then you finally send the text a while later.

"Wait, I didn't text you? Oh, sorry, I sometimes get into a Text Lag loop and never catch up."

Text Lag 

The time between when the light turns green and the moron in front of you looks up from his texting and realizes it.

Intersections are much safer now that we have text lag - no one ever takes off as soon as the light changes any more.
