The sense of panic created by the suspected loss of one's phone, prompting the frisking of one's own body in a frantic attempt to locate said phone. Particularly common amongst men wearing cargo shorts with too many pockets.
"Dude, I was out last night having a great time until I had this massive phanic attack. I checked all eleven of my shorts pockets, until I realised it was on the table in front of me!"
