double text thumb arthritis 

When one's thumbs shake, quiver, and hurt at rest due to over-texting. Usually a result of unlimited texting plans. It becomes easier to text than to actually speak to someone. Inflammation grows within the joints of the thumb and may cause swelling. May occur when dating someone extremely younger than oneself, or possibly a cougar/manther on the prowl in silent mode. Even a simple thumb's up can cause severe pain.
Manther: Ever since I've been dating this freshman babe, my thumbs hurt. Is it cause I've been jerkin off too much?

Manther Friend: When's the last time you actually talked to her?

Manther: Dude, now that you mention it, like a month ago...she only texts me all day long.

Manther Friend: You have double text thumb arthritis yo!

DTT (double text theory) 

The double text theory is defined as the act of another person texting you twice (or more) without you texting back, usually with a significant pause between texts (i.e. 5 minutes+). This Theory states that this action shows increased interest from a normal text-to-text conversation. The individual that receives the messages is most likely dominant in the conversation or relationship.
Girl: "Hey what's up?"
15 min later: "What are you doing?"
Boy: "nm u?"

Boy: "I can't wait to see that new movie with that thing! What are you doing friday?"
Hours later...
Boy: "So did you want to go with me to the movie?"
Girl: "New phone who diss?"

Usually if you act like a bitch and use the DTT (double text theory), you will be denied.
