Phombie 

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!

Phombie

A phone zombie. Someone so addicted to their smartphone that they've become the walking dead - hunched over, dead-eyed, scrolling through life without seeing it. Missing their kid's soccer game because they're checking Instagram. Walking into traffic while texting. Physically present but mentally gone.
Coined during a 30-day digital detox when the founder realized everyone around him looked like zombies glued to glowing rectangles.

"Dad's been a total phombie lately - hasn't looked up from his phone in weeks."
"I was such a phombie I walked into a pole while scrolling Twitter."
"Cured my phombie syndrome with a 30-day phone fast."

Phoebie's are excellent in bed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Highly intellectual female with enormous hair and little or no social skills.
Phoebie's are usually really funny, and always willing to try new things
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I love it how she screams in bed"
"Oh man, I just had sex with Phoebie!"
"You're so lucky!"
