pretext

Verb, portmanteau - To pretend to text someone or reply to someone's text message to avoid awkward situations. This happens most often when talking to someone you don't really know or when you don't want to look weird while waiting for the bus.

My crush, Addie, and I have run out of things to talk about so I will pretext to avoid any awkward silences.

pretext

1. When you send a text message and know what the reciever will reply. Therefore, you already write out (pretext) - and possibly save in drafts- what you will respond in return.

2. Could also be used in instant messaging by pre-typing a response.

X: "What are you doing tonight?" (asking even though they know)
X uses pretext and writes and saves to drafts- "Oh i see- me too."
Y: "Going to a movie."
X: sends the saved draft of "Oh i see- me too."

Pretext

It's the peripheral elements that are the problem. Stds are that big of a deal. You can love with an std. But if someone DOESN'T TELL YOU THAT THEY HAVE AN STD KNOW FULL-WELL THAT THEY HAVE ONE...

Hym "And then they use that as a pretext to steal your intellectual property upto and including the creation of AI and then I get diagnosed with a disorder I don't actually have or doctors won't diagnose me over a conspiracy against me I do not have to just allow that to happen just so society can function the way some faggot imposter can keep pretending to be me. And that's what this is like. Not telling me you have an std and then poisoning me. It's trans trickery. It's the ole' tricky Nixon. All gain the social benefits of being antagonistic towards the anti-social."

under no pretext

Naww man you got it all wrong, that quote is from Karl Marx.
