cell phone-itis

A socio/psychological condition characterized by ones inability to stop talking on their cell phone; commonly unable to turn their cell phone off; often and especially in enviornments that are not appropriate for personal phone conversing. This condition is often associated with a deeper emotional/psychological/spiritual condition of vacuousness and refered to in 12 step recovery parlance as chataholic.
So I drive my car over to La Beedo's to give him a ride to the gig and within 30 seconds his cell phone goes off. He answers the call without missing a beat, and yammers away about about Suzie, Sally and Sam, from 168th St. all the way to 96th. When he hangs up, I start to ask him a question and his phone goes off again. He tells me "hold on, I need to get this", and dives back into his fucking babble-bubble. I picked him up the next night and the same thing happened. Seems like he may have a serious case of cell phone-itis.

cell phone

A wireless mobile telephone. Works virtually the same as a standard land-line home phone, except it runs off of a batery and is wireless and receives signal from the numerous cell phone towers. Apart from a standard phone, these phones often include text messaging, ability to take pictures, browse the internet etc... very usefull and sometimes necessary (depending on your personal situation), especially if your on some nowheresville road and your car breaks down. PLEASE TURN OFF OR SET ON VIBRATE IN PLACES SUCH AS MOVIES/FUNERALS ETC... do not drive and talk unless you can actually do it competently, most people cant. some can.
