Phantom Menace Syndrome

A delayed reaction of disappointment, potentially towards any work of art or entertainment. Having a positive appraisal of a song, or a book, or a movie or TV show (for example) that gradually decays into a negative appraisal after some casual consideration.
A common response to having high expectations that are unmet, towards an artist or intellectual property that one is subjectively fond of.

"I really enjoyed the last episode of Game of Thrones at the time, but after thinking about it for a couple of days it gave me a case of Phantom Menace Syndrome..."

Phantom Suitor

Unwittingly created in the Age of Catfish and to some extent the COVID19 pandemic.

Phantom suitors are calculated individuals found online through social dating apps that feign interest in meeting up in person by making vague and indistinct plans for an immediate time or future date to ghost.

Distinct from a catfish, a Phantom Suitor is found using their own pics carefully chosen, taken as to not reveal their face and most often than not would be from the torso down in order to lower ones guard so they can extract intimate content such a sexually explicit photos,
Videos, and sexually charged texts for their own use and pleasure or simply just pass the time.

Other Typical tactics include but is not limited to:

- the Suitor being “out of town )until a specified date)” and would love to “get to know you” until then and proceeds to steer the conversation into exchange of explicit content/photos/vids/snaps

- the suitor being “at work & horny” and “would love to meet up later” and asks for the target to “send me a pic for now”

- adept in manipulation they will often tell their targets anything and everything about them to expedite

Don’t be fooled he’s a phantom Suitor, feigning interest in meeting up with you just to get your nudes. Block him.

Phantom Tail

When a type of creature transforms from their tailed self to human, they will most likely feel something called phantom tail. Phantom tail is the feeling where it feels like your tail is still there, but it is in fact not.

"It.. feels like it's still there?"
"Yeah that's called Phantom Tail, you'll get used to it."
