iScare

When your iPhone dies and won't restart immediately and you begin to truly realize how fucked you are without it.

My improperly connected phone charger caused quite the iScare this morning. I was searching for the nearest Apple store when it decided to come back to life. Guess it takes a while for the battery to charge before it will restart.

Protexting

Refusing to participate in the useful practice of text-messaging, no matter how appropriate or convenient the situation lends itself. Seems to be linked to age and/or coolness level.

Can also be used reciprocally, like when you dump an incoming call, and reply with a text.

Protexting activities include:

Immediately return calling sender upon receipt of text

Making people want to stab you with frivolous calls and voice messages like "I got your text, and blah...blah...blah."

Not recognizing texting as social progress.

Bitching about the 50 cents you had to pay last month because you don't have text on your plan.
