text-raid

During the initial stage of a relationship with a narcissist, they employ (love bombing) to seduce their victims. One manner in which they do this is to Text-Raid them. Text Raiding is the incessant, frequent and constant texts that narcissists send to their partners, in the beginning of a relationship, in order to reel them in and ensnare them in the relationship. Once the target/partner is secured, the love bombing stops as do the text raids.

Jon was so busy attending to the text-raid sent by his new girlfriend, that he did not even look up when his friends entered the bar.

Text trap

A text message that someone only sends so they can call you when you reply, because now they know your phone is in your hand.

I don’t want to reply to her yet, she always text traps me. Why do we need a 5 minute phone call about something I ALREADY ANSWERED IN MY TEXT?!

Text Sniping

The act of noticing someone who you know in a crowd or some other public situation and sending them a text from an unknown position referring to something which they are doing at the time e.g. "Reading by the lakeside, how very avant garde" this simulates the 'shot out of nowhere' effect of a sniper.

<Maria is having coffee>
Scott: (unseen by Maria) <observes Maria from a distance and sends a text> "ooh two sugars, bit of a sweet tooth aren't you?"

Maria: <checks phone and begins looking around aimlessly> replies "where are you?"

Scott: "I'm text sniping, so you have to guess"

texting remorse

After sending a text..regret follows immediately after..

sally texts danny something really stupid...really really stupid...and now has texting remorse..

Text coward

A person who is such a wuss that he can only act all bolshie and tough by text message, but not by phone and most certainly not face-to-face

He's having a go at me by text message again. What a text coward!

Text juking

Text juking refers to the rapid fire method of a texting sender switching topics during a text conversation before the recipient(s) can respond causing delayed responses and directional confusion - similar to a quick football move.

Text Juker: (Sends Twitter link about nuclear fallout)
Recipient: (Checks link. Skims)
Text Juker: (Replying to earlier topic) “Like my stepfather would say, ‘She looks like she was rode hard and put away wet."’
Recipient: (Starts typing response to nuclear fallout)
Text Juker: “I think I’m going to join Scientology today!”
Recipient: (Deletes response. Now typing response to Scientology)
Text Juker: (Sends a photo of bats having sex)
Recipient: (Replies with a bunch of “ha ha’s” . Creates new meme about Text Juker switching topics like the Fast and Furious changes gears. Checks Urban Dictionary for “Text Juking” term)
