Him: Hey'd you get my last text?
Her: Yeah I told you I'm down for that!

Her: Yes
Him: Hey call me we're just cross-texting. I'm totally confused now.

illiterated texting

When a person who normally spells everything correctly, using proper grammar and punctuation, decides to send messages that heavily use slang, shortened spelling (u instead of you,) and little if any punctuation so the person they are texting will stick around long enough to get to know them.

This is commonly used by men who are trying to get with woman who are attractive, but are not interested in men who come off as nerdy, proper, and useful to society.

ILLITERATED DEFINITION: w3n dey talk l1ke a c00l p3rson

I used the example for illiterated texting in the definition

Texted Vexed

During instant messaging when you are typing to someone and there is a little message at the bottom stating "so-and-so is entering text..." you stop typing and wait for your friends response, left unaware that you're friend is doing the exact thing.

I was talking to Bob last night on AIM, when we got texted vexed, and I spent an hour staring at the screen with anticipation.

text stacking

v. When person "a" sends multiple texts to person "b" without giving time for person "b" to read and/or reply between texts.

Occasionally a reply can be started by person "b", but typing will be interrupted by a new message from person "a".

"Andrew is text stacking me...again"

Inbox: 3 new messages from Andrew
Received: 10:32:10 pm, 10:32:13 pm, 10:32:15 pm.
