1. Can be used for
breaking news. Derived from the
moto "Extra! Extra!" when selling newpapers with breaking stories yet a "
textra" uses that same emphasis but over a text message in place of a newspaper.
2. An extra text used either while there is lag in the conversation or to keep in conversation going when it is decidedly over.
1. "
ZOMG! I got a
textra saying Katie and Daniel had SEX!!!"
2. It's been about 23
mintues since the last text and you're about fall asleep when this textra is sent: "So...What else is up? :/ "
