Smexting: Some Say It Leads to Crackberry
Wired's "Jargon Watch" usually includes both hits and misses. The current iteration from Jonathon Keats features this winner:
"Smexting v. Texting while smoking, often outside a bar. The phenomenon is being spurred by smoking bans, most recently in the UK. The British mobile carrier Orange reported a surge in texting when the ban went into effect, but the company claims that people were smexting friends who might help them"
Jack Flack assumes that there somehow might be a good reason that "smexting" has won out versus "toking."
