This may not carry the meaning the OP wants it to... Even among the group that does use it.

Ok regardless of what may or may not be the fact remains that I learned from my buddy Taka, who was born and raised in Japan. And he was textin one of his friends one night and was crackin up laughin, I asked who's that?
he told me his oyatomo.
Havin no clue what that was I stupidly asked, what's that like a funbuddy or somethin?
He said close it's a text buddy, the actual meaning is thumb buddy.
Now he could be pullin my chain and if so I'm kickin his butt for makin me look like am A-Hole online but if not now there's a new word to add to the many unknowns out there.
