Phombie: (phone zombie) a person who is staring at their mobile device or phone in an emotionless daze. Often so fixated on their display screen, in a zombie like state, that they are completely oblivious of other people and their surroundings. Someone can be a phombie for a brief moment or for long periods of time. crackberrytext addicttext-a-holic
(Girl talking to her friends) She was such a phombie last night. She didn’t talk to anyone at the party. All night long she just sat in the corner, ignoring everyone, texting and staring at her phone.

(Passenger says to driver) Look out for that phombie crossing the street. Could he be more oblivious to what is going on around him. Texting and walking into traffic with little white buds in ear can't be good for your health!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
