An individual who is on his or her phone either texting, calling somebody or just going through their applications while their surroundings are socializing. Basically a person who does not want to be there and using a phone as a coping mechanism. Some people may find this normal, but most find this irritating and annoying. These kind of people are spotted in clubs, movie theaters, schools, during dates, bars and everywhere else. Another way of spelling is phone-ho
Stop being a phono and come joining the rest of us. Hey guys, do you smell that? It reeks of phono in here. Dude, during my date, she was being a phono the whole time. This phono bitch next to me is distracting me from the movie.

Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.

Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

-AH Simkins
My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.

Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.
