phoneicide

The act of killing a phone, or when a phone is killed. Most cases of phoneicide are committed by technology incompetent individuals, and most cases are dismissed. It is still a crime, and action should be taken.

Inappropriate Phonetics

The use of an alternative phonetic alphabet, by those not having a grasp of the correct substitutions, using inappropriate words. These words usually being rude, crass or parts of the anatomy. The best time one should opt to use Inappropriate Phonetics would be when communicating by poor phone connection to a faceless call centre.

Yes I confirm my forename is John, that is Jism-Orgasm-Horny-Nuts, and my surname is Smith, that is Scrotum-Muff-Idiot-Twat-Hard.... Oh, you say you don't appreciate my inappropriate phonetics - how about we revert to the english alphabet and you could listen more carefully...

Phonetically Challenged

Disorder in which the sufferer can not spell at all. A consequence of book deprivation, poor teaching, poor school attendance, or too many hours spent texting/chatting. Sufferers spell all words phonetically and inevitably are teased and scorned by their peers and strangers alike.

If Jane had spelled upholstery correctly her English teacher would not have asked what "upulstry" was. She was teased by her classmates for the rest of the year for being phonetically challenged. poor spelling texting phonics

Phonetically embarrassed

When you are extremely ashamed of how you have poorly pronounced something you previously thought you had mastered.

I was phonetically embarrassed when my gringa wife corrected me with the proper pronunciation of the word “absurd”.

I thought to myself: How could I have mispronounced that word all this time? How absurd! Lol
