Dry Texting
Replying with as few words as possible — 'ok', 'lol', 'nice' — as the crime of the dry texter, and the record's entry for the conversation that one side is carrying. The dry texter is, in most cases, a man, and in most cases does not know.

The record has 'dry texter'. This is the act, and the record notes the cure is 'ask a question', which has been explained to every dry texter and taken by none.

Logged: Dry Texting, used sincerely, by a person over forty, in a comment under a recipe. No irony detected. Date and screenshot on file.
