Moses Magoo

A noun or a verb.

A Moses Magoo is one whose attention is preoccupied with the functions of a cellphone while walking, thus impeding the ability to focus on pedestrian traffic beyond one's own limited periphery, relying upon others to part, clearing a path before him or her.

This is a combined allusion to the biblical Moses, who parted the Red Sea and to the cartoon character Mister Magoo, who was notoriously near-sighted and resultantly accident prone.

To do a Moses Magoo is to cut someone off or to interfere in the smooth flow of pedestrian traffic because of a pre-occupation with a cellphone or similar device.
A true Moses Magoo, Charlie never sees beyond his nose while fidgetting with his cellphone and walking against the flow of traffic.
