The use of Ebonics when typing/texting a message. Using symbols in place of letters for the sole purpose of making yourself look cooler than you really are, all the while coming off like a complete Bozo and driving your friends insanely bonkers!

Get the type-bonics mug.The intentional misspelling or shortening of common words in order to sound cool in some circles. It is similar to ebonics in spoken english, but used, as the name implies in typed english. Typobonics is used almost exclusively on the internet, not uncommonly used in teenage chatrooms, blogs about boy bands, instant messages and e-mails between teenage girls about high school drama.
Typobonics is considered by some to be lazy and low-class.
Not to be confused with l33t, which is common with internet nerds, or the condensed written english associated with text messaging, which is shortened out of necessity of the nature of a text message.
