kosher phone

It is the most kosher a phone can get. A phone called "Quaha-Sarah" (sounds suspiciously like our matriarch), free of the modern day tumah and pritzus of the traditional smartphone, this phone will make you the frummest on the block. If you want to create an even stronger gedder, you can even TAG your kosher phone to ensure your flip phone is truly Mehadrin.

"Yo, is your phone even kosher bro?"
"Yeah, it's a kosher phone!"

Phantom Cell Phone Syndrome

When a cell phone becomes so attached to the person's self that they can feel it vibrate or ring when it has not. This stems from a long term dependency on cell phone technology and can easily be remedied by not using cell phone technology for several weeks. The term Phantom Cell Phone Syndrome was first coined by Social Psychologist Bradley Ictech.

When you feel your cell phone vibrate in your pocket, but it is in the other room you have just experienced Phantom Cell Phone Syndrome.

Left my phone in a cab

A catch-all excuse for work as to why you're not checking email, phone calls, or attending meetings while you're traveling or out of work (typically during your vacation). Often implies that you're spending your time having romantic encounters and otherwise spending your time doing extracurriculars, while avoiding work entirely.

I'm so sorry I couldn't check my email last week. I left my phone in a cab in Barcelona.
