A situation in which someone is pretending to be on the phone for the purpose of trying to look like they talk to people other than their mother or because they want to avoid having to talk to people they recognise in the surrounding area. Near enough always done by males, who want others to believe they're desired by many ladies when in fact they would probably die if a pretty girl approached them.
David: Kyle's over there, shout him and ask him if he has done the homework set by Rogers

Pete: Nah man he's on his phone to one of his people, might be a girl

David: Dude, he got rejected by the ugliest girl in school and everyone despises his snitching ass, he's clearly lying to his phone.
