Thumb-Tied

When using T9 in a text message, and the wrong word is accidentally sent to someone. It's usually not an issue, unless the wrong word still has applicable meaning in the context of the conversation.

Not to be confused with Slip of the thumbs.

Used in the context of a text message conversation:

Adam: "Hey, where are you?"
Eve: "I'm gone."
Adam: "Gone where?"
Eve: "Sorry, my phone got Thumb-Tied. I'm *home*. ^^"
