Cellphcentered 

A common state of being in which a person's life is directed toward and extracted from their cellphone, to the exclusion of actual experience.

She's so cellphcentered she can't take a shower without the freakin' thing in her hand. From the shower, tripping down the stairs, getting honked at while crossing the street, eyes on her phone, she's like, having dinner with tonight's guy she met through her cellphone, covertly staring at the same cellphone in her lap as she swipes right on the next three guys and sends breakup texts to the last three. Ask her the color of tonight's date's eyes, I dare you.

Psychlorama 

A large pictorial representation of a sufferer's inner life, encircling the patient and often having real objects - ie; other people, as a foreground.

By the year 2050, the sole remaining word in spoken English - a language once said to comprise 171,476 words, in a mode of communication once ubiquitous, then common, then, like, whatever. It was deemed, like, for real? and finally supplanted by enthusiastically written English, ie: texted abbreviations and emojis.

He was, like, 2050? and I'm like, what? and he went, like, the, like, single, like, remaining word in, like, whoa, and I'm, like, whatever

Cellphie 

A photograph of one's self made with a cell phone, ie; almost any selfie.

Whether in front of the Hollywood sign or the Mona Lisa, her iPhone 11 was poised, ready on moment's notice to make another of her trademark cellphies.
