Calliphony

CALLIPHONY: The melodious and harmonious sounds - manifested inextricably within the collectively blissful embodiment of pregnantly joyful euphony.

CALLIPHONY is the as of yet uncoined and obviously absent opposite of the well known adjective CACOPHONY, (which is currently notably lacking in any other accurately or articulately quotable antithesis).

ORIGIN of CALLI-PHONY: Roots come from the Greek words CALLI and CACO, meaning 'Beautiful' and 'Ugly' when used to preface the nouns in following examples, be appended hither & thither-to.

Opposite: CACO-PHONY
They entered the chamber to final embrace,
At a patently perfect and pertinent pace,
All created completed and cultured around,
A divinely and oddly indelible sound,
Now a totally manifest audible hit,
It's exquisitely carved of incredible shit,
It's a sound that we've claimed,
Supersonically named -
And collectively
Now
Call...
CALLIPHONY!

They will leave their belongings in class as they go for a bathroom break when, suddenly, the sound of "My Humps" fills the room. Yes, that's The Cellphone Terrorists new ring tone for this week and it isn't going to stop until they return. Those unfortunate enough to be sitting beside The Cellphone Terrorist will hang their head in shame as piercing gazes are shot directly their way.

Upon return, The Cellphone Terrorist will usually check their missed calls and proceed to call said person back by means of a covert coat-over-the-head technique that they have perfected.

Hiding in your Cellphone

When someone tries to bypass an awkward situation when they're around people they have nothing to say to by pretending to be busy doing something with their cell phone. In fact, they know they're just looking at old text messages and lightly tapping the buttons or something.

Generally for people who don't know how to make idle conversation.
(One person is on the elevator when another person they KINDA know steps on)

Jim: Hi Sue, nice weather we're having.

Sue: Yeah it sure is!

....(awkward silence)

(both pull out their cell phones and stare at them blankly until the elevator reaches a stop)

(Bob who knows them both enters)

Bob: The old hiding in your cellphone trick eh? Doesn't anyone know how to make small talk anymore?
