Rather Perplexting

Teenager textingThe other night, after the Wednesday night Law & Order triple bill (Criminal Intent, SVU and regular old Jeremy Sisto) I had my TV tuned to the late night news. That night’s “special report” was an inside exposé into ‘sexting‘ as a wide-spread (!!!) phenomenon among teenagers.

It made me think about other potential mobile-phone-text-based phenomena that might arrive after the wave of sexting:

  • mexting: texting Mexicans
  • chexting: sending a text whilst eating a delicious pretzel, cracker and cereal combo
  • dyslexting: typing backwards
  • hexting: sending a text that curses someone
  • al frexto: texting outside
  • selextive: not answering all of your texts
  • flexting: texting people about your latest accomplishments at the gym

there are more.
