Phantom Scrolling

When you doom scroll for so long on YouTube shorts or TikTok that you randomly break out in scrolling motions throughout the day, though you may not even be on your phone.
Friend 1: Bro snap out of it. You are phantom scrolling the air.

Friend 2: Huh…oh dang whoops.

Friend 1: That’s gotta be more addictive than cigarettes. You need help.

Phantom Touch

A term that is generally used by the metantly disabled to describe the sense of being "touched" in VR
While some people say it's real, there is no scientific evidence that it exists and is likely used as a talking point to get attention.

The origin is likely to come from people who exclusively play the game "vr chat" and do not socialize outside of the game.
stop harassing me I can feel that because I have Phantom Touch, I also have a wide range of disabilities in my bio we can talk about.

Phantom Scrolling

When you doom scroll so much, you no longer watch YouTube shorts for entertainment, you just do it because you are addicted to the scrolling motion. Excessive exposure may result in endless scrolling through any app that has shorts, including but not limited to LinkedIn.

Phantom Fart

A search engine AI says it's the sensation of flatulence (farting) without the actual expulsion of gas, but we all know that it's a poop that we all thought was just a fart.
