drive-by texting

A text message sent by someone to try to stir things up, but when a response is made, no further messages are sent.
Similar to a drive-by shooting because after the assailant has disappeared, the victim is left riled up and frustrated.

Girl (out of the blue): "Haven't missed a beat have you?"

Guy: "What makes you say that?"

An hour passes with no response

Guy: "Drive-by texting?"

Drive texting

Drive texting is the act of sending a text message while driving.

I'm sorry officer; I don't know what happened. I was drive texting, and the homeless dude just showed up on my windshield.

Drive-by text

When a person has ghosted someone they have had an intimate relationship with, but then shoots off random text either because they want something from them or is designed to keep them thinking it's not over when it is.

He totally ghosted his wife, but he shoots her a drive-by text once in while when he needs something.
