When you repeatedly press a button on a touchscreen phone and your input is ignored you are being "phone ghosted".
The term has been used by some teenage segments of the population who take the failure of the phone to respond as a personal affront, similar in experience to being dissed or ignored by a real person.

A scary little roof leak that you never knew you had until one day….BOO!!! You’re about to do some regular maintenance work and suddenly your breathe is taken away by the appearance of a $5,000.00 roof repair bill.
Homeowner: “ I never even knew I had a leak!”
Roofer: “That there is a ghost leak. Most folks don’t know when they have one, until it’s too late.”

An Asian woman who only dates white men. The female counterpart to the white male “Rice Chaser” who only dates Asian women. This especially applies to Asian feminist virtue signaling women who publicly rant about “Yellow Fever“ and the misogyny of white men fetishizing Asian women, while exclusively dating white men, so that other Asians will see them as successful.
Dude. Do you think Jackson is a Rice Chaser? He’s dating his third Chinese girl in a row.
Nah, man. You have it backwards. She’s a Ghost Hunter. He’s not with her because she’s Asian. She’s with HIM because he’s white. She’s his third Asian girl but he’s her tenth white dude. She’s trying to impress her Tiger Mom or something.
