The frequent sensation that your phone is vibrating in your back pocket when, in fact, it is not. This is usually associated with shifting internal gas or the anticipation of a booty text.
Todd texted me the "What's up" and we hooked up the other week, but since then, nothin. I 've developed a bad case of PBVS- Phantom Butt Vibration Syndrome.

Person 2: yeah I hear they are a complete bottom, that true?
Person 1: yeah lol.

This really isn’t a word but more of a term. So when you are walking across the street and you hear a car but there is no car that’s what I call phantom car. The real science behind the term is your hearing cars on a different street go by.
For example say you’re walking with friends or family and you start walking across, but whoever you’re walking with is concerned because they “hear a car” you can just tell them it is phantom car.

The number you randomly accidentally hit when typing on a super tiny QWERTY cell phone keypad while texting. And then send.
It will haunt your texts forever if you backspace it....
It could be any number, but 4 comes first and is more evil than all others.... 0.o

Yesterday my friend count was 388. Today it's 387, but who left? Yet again the victim of the phantom Face-diss.

(A Shockwave Racing specific term I'm coining.)
Abbreviated as PHJ.
A phantom jump is a "Jump charge" that is hidden due to how buggy the UI is in Shockwave Racing.
Usually, this happens due to the circles that indicate the jump charges being slow or delayed from server lag, thus causing a Phantom Jump.
You can get one via wall sliding (or QuickWalling, i'll coin that later.)

"Understanding how Phantom Jumps work is hard, but is very rewarding now that you aren't just blindly assuming you're a dead man when the HUD shows you have no jumps left."
