The
act of completely being fixated on your smart
phone/device in a public place, esp. when you sitting with at least
one other person.
Look around at any restaurant or
bar. There'
s always one table full of people who are all completely engrossed in their smart phones. When you see your date/spouse/significant other checking a social network on their phones as they sit at a table/
bar with you, tell them to "stop droning". I have told the people I am sitting with (at
lunch) that I'm "checking out" and am going to drone for a while.
