Textualattension

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: tekst tuall at ten shun

Sentence: Mimi's main social interactivity was that which she played out everyday by texting, e-mailing and on-line networking with her friends, family and people from long ago and far away who looked her up. She spent so much energy and time doing this, that she failed to allot enough to meet suitable young men. As a result she was lonely and suffered from textualattension. If she lost her communication tools, she would be lost in learning how to connect with real humans. Maybe it was time to contact e-Harmony and let them find her a mate. How the heck did her parents ever meet and marry in the Dark Ages, she wondered...

Etymology: Textual (of or relating to or based on a text...written word used on cell phones, blackberries to communicate and network electronically) & Attention (the work of caring for or attending to someone or something) & Tension (a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense) & Play on Sexual Tension (wink, wink, nod, nod)
