Why do people often say “contexting words” instead of truthful words in communicating with coworkers? One of the reasons why people use contexting words so often is that contexting words help people to establish a good relationship with others in the earlier stage of the relationship development. The idea of contexting words and its impacts has become a hot topic in newspapers and magazines; however, we still lack research focusing on such a critical issue. To fill up this gap, I conducted semi-structured interviews on why people use contexting words in workplaces. The findings suggest three forms of contexting words: extending the olive branch, maintaining harmony, and changing the atmosphere of the situation. The implications are also discussed.
