T9
A cellphone tool that is really useful if you know how to use it, but generally really annoying because you have to decipher people's texts. The general idea is that you only need one keystroke per letter per word (like the word "the" would be "843" However, some words share keystroke combos and it gets really annoying.
Dumbass: Of (me) and my mother are going to watcher mother (movies) Them (Then) we will have able (cake).
Me: Turn off T9 untill you learn how to use it.
Already a lot easier than Multi-tap, because it suggests words from a list when you click only once on each button.
Therefore 'easy' is 2-3-7-9 with T9, instead of 3-3-2-7-7-7-7-9-9-9 with Multi-tap.
When you think someone is going to say one thing but then they say another. Usually a 'i thought you were totally going to say something else' moment.
-We were chilling at my house alone last night when-
-(in your head) you did it
-(what is actually said) the movie came on.
-I totally T9d that sentence. I thought you were going to say something else.
When you accidentally mix up words while you are speaking, such as when you accidentally type the wrong word when texting with T9, iTap, word, etc. (of=me, aides=cheer, etc.)
Before the invention of the QWERTY keyboard on mobile phones, a common phrase used to describe a text message of significant importance. Often with someone of the opposite sex.
Deuche #1: Dude check out the T9 bomb (some hot girls name) just sent me. She wants it.
Deuche #2: I'm jealous

T9 Talk
Sentences in text messages that don't make sense because they were written in T9 word and the writer did not check to make sure the right words came up. This can sometimes be humorous and other times makes the text message impossible to decipher.
Brenda (in text message): What are you doing?
Wanda: I foot know
Brenda: Want to in to a car?
Wanda: That's book with me
Danny: How can you guys understand this T9 talk?
