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.

The nonchalant text u send immediately before you send an important text to a person. The pre-text insures that you will know whether or not the person will reply so that you are not left with textpectation after sending the important text it insures that your important query will not be textnored. Sort of like signing for a UPS package so they know that you got it.

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.

Writing a text and saving as a draft before you go out drinking. After a few shots when you feel the need to "drunk text" it's already written, all you do is hit send. Prevents one from texting the wrong person, making themself lseem like a drunk a-hole who can't spell, and talks about random shit.

When you get a text from a hot girl, and it could be percieved as being a slutty text, your first reaction (being sexual) is a pre-text! You then reply in a normal way, BUT it has to be similar to the pre-text so you can laugh about it!

For Example:

To text a bunch of people before you go out somewhere, so when you get there you'll get a bunch of replies. The goal of this is to appear popular and busy by getting a bunch of "spontaneous" texts when you are out with someone, at school, or anywhere.

an excuse when you are having an intercourse with someone else (other than ur gf)
