Top 15 New Texting Buzzwords
04/08/2010


Five years ago, Yvonne Roberts of the Sunday Telegraph Magazine unknowingly coined one of the most overused buzzwords of the mobile age: "Sexting."

While the word may seem to be gaining strength thanks to Tiger and Jesse James, it's only a matter of time before it jumps the shark and is (thankfully) retired from daily conversation.

In an effort to help finally push these words out of our everyday language, the popular text messaging community Predicto Mobile has identified some possible mashup replacements to flood the lexicon with:

XXXting: AKA, "The Joslyn James," a new level of sexting featuring pornographic (and possibly marriage ending) content

Taxting: Sending a barrage of messages to one’s accountant requesting last minute advice on April 15th.

Chexting Perfected by Jesse James and Tiger Woods, the practice of cheating via text.

Wrexting: – The result of texting and driving.

Flexting: The art of bragging about one's physique to the opposite sex via constant texts. (Or texting while at the gym...)

Anorexting: A disorder in which individuals believe that their text messages are too fat, limiting messages to less than 20 characters

Tuxting: The inappropriate act of sending texts while standing on the altar during one’s wedding ceremony

Cineplexting: The annoying practice of reading and responding to text messages during a movie

And because this has (regrettably) taken on a life of its own... here are a few from me:

Intoxting: Texting while under the influence.

Czech-ting: Hitting up that hot Eastern European chick you met downtown last weekend.

Perplexting: Sending random, incoherent texts. (See Intoxting.)

Mexting: Texting the lovely senoritas you met in Mexico.

CosPlexting: Sending texts while dressed as your favorite comic book character.

Rednexting: Writing down your text on a piece of paper and holding it up.

Politexting: Sending messages when you should be running the country.

Neglexting: Ignoring the barrage of texts that come in on a daily basis, and actually enjoying life.

(If I forgot any... add 'em to the comments below.)
