ghost whiff

To get a brief whiff of something that was never there.
I was sitting at my desk and I could swear that I smelled french fries -- must have been a ghost whiff.

Me: "I smell french fries, who's got 'em?"
Co-Worker: "Nah, no fries here man."
Me: "Really?!"
Co-Worker: "Yup. Really. Must have been a ghost whiff".

Ghost of the Navigator

Probably the best track off Iron Maiden's Live at Rock in Rio album.
With an acoustic intro building up into a manic crescendo, this is another maritime epic in the same vein as 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'. The Instrumental part summons up images of a ship struggling in the middle of a storm. During this particular part, Nicko's fast foot gives the impression of a double-bass drum. This spurred a polemic among the fans, some of them saying that it was the first time that he used double-kick mechanism.

The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death. The "ghost of navigators" could be an allusion to all of those who go through life without really realizing it, being therefore "lost" and not in control of their navigation. This sentence could also refer to our forebears who have sailed the same 'seas' as us whose memory stil remains. In any case, "nothing's real until you feel" is probably an advice to experience life to the fullest, with its ups and downs, or run the risk to have wasted the short time between the cradle and the grave.

John: Yeah, I know.

Ghost Twitterer

When a busy high profile public figure such as, let's say, Barack Obama gets a Twitter account, it's pretty much granted that he doesn't have the time to actually 'tweet' - therefore the situation calls for a GHOST TWITTERER (similar to a ghost writer), a person in that person's staff, who does the tweeting for him (her).
It's pretty obvious he has a ghost twitterer.
