texplain

When asked a question by text that has an answer too long to explain in a text.
I was texting with Kimberly yesterday and she asked why I couldn't hang out later. Between working late, getting a flat tire and breaking up with my boyfriend I told her the reason was way too long to "texplain" and that I would call her later.

texplain

To attempt to convey any concept of significant via some texting aparatus. This attempt is inevitably confounded by the limits of undersized digital buttons, autocorrection of words, numerous spelling errors, and the distance between the explainer and explanee.

TEXPLAIN.

TEXPLAIN. When texting is not practical because the message will take too many words to explain or it’s confusing, you simply ask the other person to, “Call me. it’s too hard to texplain.”

Texplanation

To send a text message to someone with a lame explanation of why you can't attend your rendez-vous/ party / hang-out / drinks. (Usually a lie.) The main purpose of the texplanation is to avoid the awkward phone conversation where the person to which you are talking totally knows you're lying and doesn't want to accuse you.
Jenny: Ugh, I don't feel like going to Brooke's graduation get together with her family. Her mom's boobs are awful and hard and it hurts when she hugs me. I have to send that bitch a texplanation.

*Whips out cellphone*

Text message: "Hey Brooke! Sory i cant come 2 ur party! my cat is ded and im jst 2 sad!"

Thank God I could texplain my way out of that!
