Phantom Feature

A useful and expected feature that is mysteriously lacking in a similar or competing product.

Expecting said feature to be present and then being unpleasantly surprised by its absence.

Using a device with the expectation that said features will be present.

Technical analogue to phantom limb

After years of Firefox and Chrome, I can't bear to use IE for all the phantom features

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."

Phantom Boob

When you lose weight, and your boobs shrink, but you are to cheap to buy new bras so there is a gap. The extra space is filled with the ghost of your former boob.

Boyfriend (touches boob)- What? There's nothing in there.

Girl- Yeah, I know, the bra is too big. It's just my phantom boob now.
