A person who threatens, or harasses another person over the phone, but wouldn't have the courage to do it in person.
She called my house today, and cursed me out, and threatened to beat me up, but when I saw her in school earlier today, she couldn't look me in the eyes. She's a punk! She just a phone-thug!
