in the phone

In debt

The term originated in the Southern California poker community where lending between players would be kept track of in their respective smart phones.

As a variation, “out of the phone” is synonymous with paying off debt.

I can’t really afford to go out tonight since I’m in the phone to Josh for a pretty big number.

Phonely

*whole group on phones except for Liz*
Liz: Hey guys, I'm feeling pretty phonely right now.

*group gets the hint and puts them away so they can have a real conversation*

phone

An object that you can stick up leopards' noses and not die from the resulting attacks.

The phone is ringing off the hook, so Joe stuck it up Def Leppard's noses and they all thought it was a good idea to chop down cherry trees.
