phanting

Imagining something in vivid detail, mentally simulating the experience, like dreaming, but generally awake. Derived from "phantasia", which is another word for the capacity of mental visualization.

Usually in reference to visual experience, but can also apply to the visualization that goes on in the process of engineering design.

"Aphantasic?" "It means they can't phant. I mean, they can't imagine how it would feel to look at a thing until they actually look at it." "I don't think it's possible to know exactly what it would feel like until you actually experience it." "Well kind of, phanting has limits, nobody's perfect at it, but some people are pretty good at it."

"Yes, I'm sure the design will work. I've been phanting for days."

Phantom Donkey Punch

Slandering someone publicly, out of the blue, and keeping the source of the slander anonymous so the person receiving the verbal Donkey Punch is unable to attribute the slander to a specific person.

"I saw in the news where someone called me an asshole, but I can't tell who said that. Whoever hit me with that phantom donkey punch is a punk bitch."

Phantom Vibration Syndrome

"Phantom vibration syndrome" is when you think your phone is buzzing, but it's just your imagination playing tricks on you. It's like your pocket is the boy who cried "vibrate"!

Here's a silly joke about "phantom vibration syndrome": "Why don't ghosts use phones? Because they're already experts at phantom vibration syndrome!"
