The state of being so engrossed in one's device (iPhone, iPad or equivalent) that one remains oblivious to all surrounding activity and communication and to the social norms that once governed them. Accordingly, the Law of iNertia states that a person engaged with his or her device will remain so engaged, regardless of any forces acting upon them to achieve a change of state. (The Law of iNertia thus operates contrary to the Law of Inertia, according to which a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external non zero force.)

An obstetrician, midwife, doula, neonatal nurse or pediatrician -- specifically, during the period beginning in January 2021, nine months after the COVID-19 lockdown began, and lasting the same length of time as the lockdown did (so called because of the baby boomlet surely resulting from all those fertile individuals who found themselves at home together for weeks on ends with time on their hands, if you get my meaning).
OMG, I can't believe the epic last responder shifts my obstetrician wife is pulling so far in 2021 -- all those @#$%! millennials couldn't just binge-watch and keep their hands to themselves for a couple of months?

Of marginal relevance -- not really relevant, but close enough to maybe be interesting anyway. (From "para" (beside, subsidiary to) + relevant (probative).)
