double text
Send another message
Double text is to send a second message before receiving a reply to the first, typically in texting or online chat.
The term often carries a hint of anxiety or social awkwardness—the implication that you're too eager or impatient: I know I shouldn't double text, but it's been three days.
Some consider it a minor breach of texting etiquette; others use it freely.
