Random
Rhetorical greeting, similar to "What's happening?" or "How do you do?"
The second "t" in "textin" is often dropped, (along with the passe "g"), so that it may be smoothly pronounced as "texin".
It's especially widespread in hip towns (ex. Madison, WI and Austin, TX), because it can almost be construed as a little funny in a mutually deprecating way.
Also popular with the youth, because texting excites them.
Grown Man #1: Oh geez, Lindsey, I didn't see you there behind the door. Who ya textin?
Grown Woman: Shut up, Paul, I am hiding. Back away and act normal.
Grown Man #2: Paul! Who ya textin, big guy! Say, have you seen a grown woman around here? I need to test her for something.

"Who will watch the watchmen?" is a translation of the phrase "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" made famous by the Roman Poet Juvenal in his satires.
Contextually it referred to the notion that male guards should not guard women against sexual assault as they themselves are capable of committing such crimes, the only solution would be to have the women guarded by eunuchs.
Generally though it is considered the embodiment of the philosophical question as to where ultimate power should reside. It can be attributed as the basis, or at least the summarization, of the United States' concept of division of political power. At any given moment a watchman is watched by two watchmen thus eliminating the possibility of corruption.
The phrase is also well known as the basis for the graphic novel, and film, Watchmen.
Synonymous phrases include:
Who will guard the guards?
Who will protect the protectors?
Who will police the police?
"Privacy is a farce, if you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to hide. Surveillance is the only way to assure that no crime goes unpunished."
"But who will watch the watchmen? Themselves?"

Blue is someone who you can always hold onto and is your way of comfort. The one person who takes all your worries away. Someone that you know will always be there even though you've put them through a lot. A person that puts you into calm even though you're in your most uncomfortable state. Someone's love is also referred to this colour.
"so, who's your blue ? ", " You're my blue Jana. "
When you are having an identity crisis and you ask
Who am I?

The question yelled by a person who has just done something amazing. If anyone answers by yelling 'You da man!' then this person has succeeded at being awesome. However, if nobody answers then this person has failed.
"WHO DA MAN?!"
............
"...I am never saying that again."
