e-gret (noun, verb): The feeling of sorrow, shame, remorse, or fear one experiences after sending an ill-advised electronic message (e-mail, IM, text message) that cannot be recalled.
I completely misread our flirty IM exchange, and now I'm filled with e-gret that I pinged her saying, "So, when are we gonna have sex?"
