the idea of being in denial, for an extended period of time, that a movie you've watched was bad or disappointing, especially after having highly anticipated it; after this period, you eventually admit to yourself that said movie was, in fact, not as good as you'd thought.
"My most recent case of phantom menacing was after Jurassic World, where I remained in denial for a good half year before finally coming to my senses."

When unnecessary cones, barrels, and lane shifts screw up your morning commute but there isn't a construction worker in sight. A/K/A/ government efficiency at its best.
I was half an hour late due to some phantom construction. Turns out, no one has worked on site in days.

After blowing your nose on a tissue, a phantom booger is a booger that did not make it to the tissue and is nowhere to be found. Common destinations of the phantom booger are your arms, hair, face, steering wheel, keyboard, and monitor. Phantom boogers can potentially lead to embarrassment and awkward social situations.
Dude #1: Dude, I just blew my nose and the booger is nowhere to be found!
Dude #2: Dude, it must be a phantom booger!
Dude #1: I must find it!
Dude #2: Dude, it's on your cheek!
Dude #1: o noes!!
Dude #2: Dude, it must be a phantom booger!
Dude #1: I must find it!
Dude #2: Dude, it's on your cheek!
Dude #1: o noes!!

When the penis becomes erect but you can not for the life of you think why the blood is rushing to your phallus, then you are in possession of a phantom boner. It has no reason to be there, just like Hitler at a Bahmitzvah, It just shouldnt be there.
You are in church singing a glorious hymn, but why oh why are you pointing to the heavens? The phantom boner has taken over and wont go away for at least half an hour
