This Week's LEXICAL ITEM:  

In lieu of some cliche holiday themed vocabulary term I choose something a little more poignant. We all know a thing or two about "sexting" & hooking up doesn't matter if you are bitterly divorced, recently dumped, single or cheating on your significant others. What with it being Christmas Eve, most of the holiday hoes are horny and scouring their phones for someone to warm up their crotch tonight. Good Lick, I mean LUCK.



Sexting
(verb) - the act of text messaging someone in the hopes
of having a sexual encounter with them later; initially casual,
transitioning into highly suggestive and even sexually explicit

Examples:
1. "So, David keeps sexting me saying how hard he is and how much he wants to get all up in
this," Elle said gently massaging her breasts unconsciously.
2. [Sexting in ACTION]
Jo: "Wut do u want?"
Sam: "Cum over to my place now."
Jo: "Is NE1 else there?"
Sam: "No. I need to c u, like right now."
Jo: "K. B there soon."
