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.

goofy hand phantom style

When you sit on your nondominant hand until it is numb. Once numb, use it to masterbate. It will feel like a handjob.

Phantom Shitter

An individual who, in secret, defecates in a location other than a toilet, for the purpose of creating humor and/or havoc. The practice is more common anywhere large collections of male humans cohabitate, such as in college dorms and military barracks, but may occur at any time, in any place, regardless of the demographics of the locale. Naval lore suggests that the practice dates back to World War II.
"The Phantom Shitter has struck again"

A prime example may be found in the first ten minutes of the film "Flight of the Intruder" when the Phantom Shitter strikes the XO's ashtray.
