Pretending to talk on the phone, send or receive text messages, when one feels shy, bored, left out, or does not want to talk to someone. This may also extend to include the use of Apps and Social Media. The Faux Foner is often attempting to seem more popular in the situation.

A person is Faux Foned when some one else pretend to use their phone in order to avoid talking to them.
He was talking all kinds of shit, and was really starting to annoy me... I faux foned that my dog was in the hospitall, and got the hell out of there.

No one was talking to me at the party so I was Faux Foning, when this really hot guy came up to me!
