Squishy Typing 

When you spill your beverage into your keyboard and instead of draining it out, like a normal person, you continue typing like nothing happened much to the bemusement of those who witnessed the spill. Squishy Typing is no delicate matter and practitioners usually have an “Own It!” type mentality. Squishy Typers never tickle the keyboard like an Elmo doll on the cold Christmas morning of 1996. Rather, they opt to pound the keys with the renewed vigor of a frustrated Ludwig van Beethoven raging at the heavens during a tsunami.
Jo: Just picked up my coffee off the warmer as someone asked me a question. I swung around and bonked the edge of my monitor and dumped half the cup in my keyboard...

Levi: I'd like to be sympathetic, but I'm too busy laughing. Hopefully, it was a cheap-o, wired keyboard?

Jo: It is. It's a work keyboard so I’m just squishy typing now.

Levi: I smell a UD entry. Squishy Typing

Jo: Ew Ew!! I'll get Darren on it.

Jo: Confession: I may have baited you into the UD recommendation so I could incorporate our conversation into the example...

Levi: Haha. That makes sense.

Darren: Done.

brady typing

A common form of typing, in which the typist presses each key individually. Instead of relying on the memorized position of keys, the typist must find each key by sight.
"The script took forever to write due to his incessant brady typing."

zone typing

when typing, you instinctively know where on the keyboard sits a given key, and you ready the designated finger for that zone – but you still have to look, in order to avoid a typo-ridden text.
People without training usually start out with the one-handed hunt and peck technique, and gradually progress to the two-handed, knowing-what-you’re-doing-looking, zone typing.

brady typing

When you type each key on a keyboard one at a time in an unbearably slow manner aka hunt and peck typing Named for Brady Haran of the Hello Internet podcast.
“Wait a minute Grey I’ll just check Wikipedia for the exact number of fatalities from that tragic plane crash”

Several minutes later

“Wow Brady are you Brady typing! We’ll be here all year”

Cry-typing 

An informal, archaic method of online communication in which a person, via a social media platform or SMS text, expresses something, whilst conveying significant sadness or distress, typically signified by the excessive and incorrect usage of commas, semicolons and intentional typos throughout the message; this occurs typically to the extent that the message is nearly incomprehensible, entirely.

Historically, this means of communication was predominantly used by Tumblr and twitter users, 4Channers and other various types of online degenerates, and is outdated for its extremely obnoxious nature.
Instance of cry-typing:

Girlfriend: babe my plant just died ugh

Boyfriend, trying to smash: o::;mg bae,,,, n;o....., that plan;;;t meea nnt;;;; the wo:;;;,,,rld to m;;;e.......

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!
