The word ‘text’ is slowly changing its definition

I find myself telling people, “See ya, I’ll text you later.”

But I’m having trouble conjugating the new word in the past tense.

EXAMPLE:
“What happen last night? I texted you last night.”

I feel like an idiot when I say, “texted”.

We need to come up with another word to describe the act of sending a text message.

Suggestions?

The act of having sent a text message?

Suat.

Sent U A Text.

Even the long form looks like short form, thus embodying the entire text messaging experience.

Here’s how to use it:

“I suat you last night. Did you get it?”

You can use suat as a verb and a noun, thus having to avoid saying “text” at all.

Now I realize saying “suat you” is a little like saying “ATM Machine,” but I think it works.

Plus I think it sounds kind of sexy, as in, “Girl I want to make you SUAT. Suat ’til you can’t suat no more…”

Forgive me if this gets a re-post on my blog, but a sister can’t waste this shit.
