Refusing to participate in the useful practice of text-messaging, no matter how appropriate or
convenient the situation lends itself. Seems to be linked to age and/or
coolness level.
Can also be used reciprocally, like when you dump an
incoming call, and reply with a text.
Protexting activities include:
Immediately return calling sender upon
receipt of text
Making people want to stab you with frivolous calls and voice messages like "I got your text, and
blah...blah...blah."
Not recognizing texting as social progress.
Bitching about
the 50 cents you had to pay last month because you don't have text on your plan.
