Vortext 

When you're texting (via your cell phone or an IM program on your computer) and you're being bombarded with legitimate texts from other people (ie you're stuck in multiple conversations, and can't seem to respond to one without at least one or two more sending you messages while you're trying to respond to a first message).

"All three of my girlfriends were online and they were vortexting me like crazy. I almost said the wrong thing to the wrong girlfriend!"

vortext 

The spaceless, timeless dimension where lost texts exist until they re-enter the universe and arrive in your cell phone inbox; a hopeless, senseless text conversation in which one or both participants is repeatedly unable to determine the meaning and direction of the conversation despite all attempts to get the conversation back on track

Vortext 

1. the phenomenon that can occur after meeting someone and exchanging numbers in hopes of actually meeting face to face at some later point in time. but what ends up happening is just infinite text message only communication. Actual phone calls are useless because the other person prefers to only comunicate by texting.

becca (text): idk kinda busy. text me later.

shmoe : shit, i'm in the vortext

The Herrero Vortex

The Herrero Vortex is named for the situation, whereby one finds themselves in the company of someone who talks continually, non-stop, about stuff no one wants to hear, and apparently has the stamina to go for hours. It's coupled with the circumstance, where you cannot easily get away. At first there may be an interesting point made, or you just want to be polite. After a while, it becomes annoying and you just want it to end. It could even affect your mental state, as eventually, your only goal is to escape. It gets its name from the Spanish word for blacksmith - someone who tirelessly and with fortitude, hammers away at something for hours at a time.

Dude, I got caught in the Herrero Vortex last night, at that poker game. This guy just would not stop talking, and I made some bad calls.
