I missed this article by Erin McKean when it was first published a couple of weeks ago. She considers the salacious words that have been coined using the ending -exting. Here are some she mentions:
chexting: cheating on a partner via text messages with a lover
brexting: breaking up with someone by text
drexting: texting whilst drunk
confexting: confessing something via a text message
Most new phenomena and technology do not give rise to such an influx of new language. Kissogram and strippergram are based on telegram, but they appeared in the language decades later.
