A common exercise among high school and college students whose classroom is in a building with bad digital reception. While attempting to send a text message, a student may need to discreetly reach skyward and pretend that they need to stretch their arms in order to get that one necessary bar of reception. A cell phone stretch can last anywhere between 2 and 25 seconds and may be repeated as many times as necessary.
This technique should be used a limited amount of times, as there are several negative consequences:
1. The teacher or professor mistakes your stretching motion as you raising your hand and calls on you to answer a question. Which, of course, you can't answer because the question was posed while you were texting.
2. The teacher or professor becomes suspicious of you constantly stretching.
3. You accidentally wack the football player sitting behind you because you lean too far back (Trust me it's been done before and he does not react nicely).

Guy 1: Dude is your shoulder ok? You hurt it lifting?
Guy 2: Relax man, I'm just doing the cell phone stretch.

A guy who is incapable of having a relationship with a girl outside of texting. Cell phone romeos are smooth talkers who often have several women they are texting with at one time and are trying to woo but when it comes to having a face to face encounter they simply do not measure up to the romanticised personna they have created for themselves while hiding behind their cell phones. They are content to chat about relationships, kissing, and sex but do not have any plans to act on their over exaggerated skills and in these areas. May be a compensatory mechanism. Not to be confused with a player who has sex with anything that walks. Romeos prefer to mind fuck their unsuspecting Juliets.
That guy turned out to be a cell phone romeo. He bragged about how many orgasms he could give me but would never meet up.

When one attempts to send or receive a text message with little or no reception by raising his or her cell phone up in the air thinking that somehow they will gain more bars.
"Dude i didn't know you were a Nazi."
"I'm not. I have no signal bars so i have to do the cell phone salute to get this message out or my woman is gonna be pissed"

A mystical object which has never been seen by human eyes. It has been said that this phone exists
1. a legendary object, which has never been seen by human eyes, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, that is rumored to be kept at her house stuffed in a drawer, which is naturally the most normal place for a cell phone to be.
2. stories or matter of this kind: realm of myth.
3. any invented story, idea, or concept.
4. an imaginary or fictitious thing or person: I had read about the Lady Of The Lake in Arthurian mythology in high school, and she's got nothing on Gayla's Cell Phone
5. an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social institution.
