This is a phrase taken directly from the 1980 dance pop song, "Your Own Private Idaho" by the outrageous party band, the B-52's.
It means "living inside an Idaho potato", or a very small space. Metaphorically, it refers to someone who is not paying attention because he is daydreaming, or under the influence, or otherwise wrapped up within his own very narrow sphere of interest or frame of reference.

Get the privatization mug.A Snapchat custom(or private story) is a story where only select people will see it. You share your whole life with your viewers like when you shower and go to sleep. It’s like being a YouTube vlogger except only your close friends will see it and it lasts for 24 hours. If your custom isn’t entertaining, you might as well not have one. Many people post funny or embarrassing moments on their custom that they wouldn’t normally post on their main story.
Things that people may post on their custom include:
-“Pre” and “post” *activity*
-Gn/Gm
-hauls
-routines
-storytimes
-etc.
Customs are usually done by girls, and have girl viewers, so if you are a boy, you might be lucky enough to be on a girl’s custom. People usually name their customs things like “_____’s Life”, “Keeping up with ______”, etc.
Eliana: “Omg!! Carly’s custom was so funny!!”
Samantha: “Ya! That was so funny, how did she do that? I’M DEAD”
