Phone Dead

When you don't answer your cell phone for a couple days because you are sick of having to talk to people, and all your friends think you are dead, but you really just needed a break from it all

Jane: Where were you last weekend John? I called you a million times and you never answered or returned my call, everyone thought you were dead!?!

John: Yeah..I was phone dead last weekend, I just couldn't take it anymore, but I'm back baby!!

dead phone routine

A person's excuse that they flaked out on an agreed-upon meeting or date with you because their phone was not working, not paid, or not charged. These excuses are often belied by the fact that a call to the user results in a normal dial tone, rather than going straight to voicemail.

The dead phone routine usually goes something like this:

1. "Sorry, I got stuck downtown and my phone died."
2. "Hey I just got my phone back up I had to pay it first."
