The Phony War was an six month period during World War II where no land, sky or sea operations between both Allied and German militaries were undertaken on the Western Front after the German conquest of Poland on September 1st.
However, after the Germans had invaded Denmark and Norway, the Phony War came to a close after certain major offenses and battles occurred on the Western Front and further up, the fall of France.
The Phony War could've meant that the militaries of France and Britain could have been preparing for the oncoming attack of the Germans, but apparently the French couldn't hold back the Germans since they didn't think they would invade through the dense forests underneath Belgium.

Germany - *Invades Poland*
WWII OFFICIALLY STARTS
Germans - "Why don't we just play a 6 month waiting game and then let the true battle commence?"
Allies - "Sure lol. We could call it a Phony War."
Germans - "It is so on, you guys are going to get destroyed."
Allies - "I don't think so."
6 MONTHS LATER, FALL OF FRANCE BEGINS

Get the Phony War mug.A phone is someone that’s always on the phone rather than having human interactions. They will sit in a group and text each other instead of just talking. They’ll raise there head and look at someone right after they received a text and laugh then start texting back.

Get the Phonie mug.When you think the ride will have a G-force as you’re about to drop on the rollercoaster but you end up not feeling any force or weightlessness at all.
Oh no! Here we go!
Wait, I didn’t pass out and this just feels fast. That was a G-phony roller coaster.

Get the G-phony mug.Favorite insult of "Catcher in the Rye" protagonist Holden Caulfield. Source of great anger to anyone who subjects themselves to Mr. Caulfield's rambling, circuitous narration.

Get the I Heart Baloney Phony mug.A phony high is when your friends think you were smoking or are stoned but have actually not smoked at all. Symptoms of a phony high can include but are not limited to: Bloodshot eyes (often due to a lack of sleep or crying), watery eyes (often caused by discomfort of the eye, or again, crying because we all are secretly emo kids), mild hysteria (maybe you're just tired...) and many more symptoms that other stoners have been known to have.
p1: Is that girl high?
p2: She is sure looks like it..
p3: Nahhh, that's a phony high. She doesn't smoke.
