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. 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!

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
