Phantom messages

Where you get notifications for a message and you check to see it but it isn’t there and when no one deleted it.

Even when you check a groups audit log it will show no sign of a message being deleted.

“Did you delete these messages?”
“No, must be some phantom messages”

In school I was phantom reading.

Phantom gay

Appearing in certain places the be gay, but outside of those places they are not.

Going to a function, such as a party..."John and Joe became phantom gay and surprised everyone by getting on the bar and pulling their pants down wearing women's thongs dancing in front of the crowd while smacking each other's ass!"

Phantom Scanning

The act of appearing to scan the NHS track and trace app, but not actually scanning it

So I popped into Pizza Express for a quick bite, and the waitress was like ‘you’ve got to scan the NHS app before sitting down’. So I take out my phone and appear to scan it, but in fact I’m phantom scanning it. No lock down for me, ha ha ha ha
