Phantom Bluetooth

The feeling that you still have a Bluetooth device in your ear after you have taken it out. This is typically due to extended wearing of said Bluetooth device.

(Man #1 reaches up towards his ear, feels around for a Bluetooth, then commences to scratch ear instead.)

Man #2: "Dude, is your ear feeling okay?"

Man #1: "Yeah, I thought my Bluetooth was making my ear itch. It turns out that Phantom Bluetooth was to blame!"

Phantom Asshole

The overweight closet muncher in the family
who typically raids the refrigerator and pantry of all the good food late at night, in top secrecy. They are best
known for not leaving a trace of thier presence
and will almost always return an empty
box to the shelf instead of putting it in the trash.

Hey Chris, who ate all the fried
chicken, I don't know Jim. Must have been the phantom asshole.

desk phantom

A worker who is usually exempt and working project hours which can be any time during the day or evening. They often live at their desk, have minifridges and coffee makers there. They disappear often during the day without being noticed and come back to work late hours. Their job is very solitary and they are so seldom seen that seeing them is like seeing a phantom.

The opposite of a desk phantom is a desk mannequin who is usually more visible, and more customer facing.

We just saw John coming in at 2 with coffee and his van was in the parking lot all last night. We think he's working on the bank acquisition code but you'll have to ask Francine his boss about that. The guy is a real desk phantom.

phantom facebooking

Checking email to view Facebook updates rather than signing in, because you want the gratification of seeing what's happening but don't want to admit your Facebook addiction to yourself or the world at large.

He had already visited Facebook five times that day, so he phantom facebooked instead.

-I'm just checking work emails. Oh lawl, look who wants to be my sister on Facebook...
-Seems to me like you're phantom facebooking!
