A threesome involving three men. Often two of which are in a relationship, hence the third party is the 'Phantom Menace' of the encounter.

An act whereby someone takes a dump in the tank section of the toilet rather than the bowl, leaving a menacing and lingering smell of unknown source
Ron left a phantom menace in the office bathroom before the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon the office's return the following Monday no on could determine the source of the stench.

A close cousin to submarining but not exactly ghosting, phantom menacing is the continuous act of showing signs of life on someone's social media feed (mostly through likes, possibly retweets) repeatedly or in intermittent patterns. But what makes phantom menacing different from submarining is that the phantom menace never actually opens up a line of dialog with the target in public conversation or private messaging.
While a person can phantom menace someone of any gender that they have a platonic relationship with, phantom menacing is virtually always done to a woman by a man after hooking up or dating. He will do this for weeks or even several months after he last exchanged a word with her yet never actually talk to her even after liking hundreds of her tweets.

"Remember that guy John I hooked up with forever ago at that party? We still follow each other on Facebook even though we haven't spoken in almost a year. Why does he keep phantom menacing me every few months by liking up every single post yet not saying anything? I don't live in a fuckin guarded tower, JUST TALK TO ME."

the idea of being in denial, for an extended period of time, that a movie you've watched was bad or disappointing, especially after having highly anticipated it; after this period, you eventually admit to yourself that said movie was, in fact, not as good as you'd thought.
"My most recent case of phantom menacing was after Jurassic World, where I remained in denial for a good half year before finally coming to my senses."

When you do something a second time and like it better because it can no longer disappoint you the way it did the first time.
1."I just watched Batman V Superman again."
"How was it?"
"Not as terrible as I remember."
"I think you're under the phantom menace effect."
2. "Wow, sex is so much better the second time!"
"Phantom menace effect my friend, phantom menace effect."

A delayed reaction of disappointment, potentially towards any work of art or entertainment. Having a positive appraisal of a song, or a book, or a movie or TV show (for example) that gradually decays into a negative appraisal after some casual consideration.
A common response to having high expectations that are unmet, towards an artist or intellectual property that one is subjectively fond of.

"I really enjoyed the last episode of Game of Thrones at the time, but after thinking about it for a couple of days it gave me a case of Phantom Menace Syndrome..."

A phantom poop is when there is no evidence of a poop you have just done.
Menace being not checking to see if wiping is necessary.
A combination of the two being a phantom menace poop.
