Chapter 187 of the cellphone novel: Secondhand Memories by Takatsu

We walked in silence for a while.

The twinkling lights in the neighbourhood slowly one by one were snuffed out, like candles.

But yet, this was not a depressing thought. As people turned off their lights, the night would gently embrace everyone with peace.
Hush. The night was our lullaby.

I glanced at my handphone. It was 12 already. I hadn’t realized I had spent so much time in the hospital.

“It’s really late isn’t it?” I asked no one in particular.

cellphone terrorist 

The Cellphone Terrorist has the capability to disrupt classes without even being present. They will leave their belongings in class as they go for a bathroom break when, suddenly, the sound of "My Humps" fills the room. Yes, that's The Cellphone Terrorists new ring tone for this week and it isn't going to stop until they return. Those unfortunate enough to be sitting beside The Cellphone Terrorist will hang their head in shame as piercing gazes are shot directly their way.

Upon return, The Cellphone Terrorist will usually check their missed calls and proceed to call said person back by means of a covert coat-over-the-head technique that they have perfected.
*phone rings*

Jen: Hey Beth...oh yeah I know. OK I'll be there tonight. Yeah I'm in class right now, just call me back later with directions. I'll call Cindy right now and let her know.


Andrew: She is never off her phone and we are reviewing for the final.

Jake: I know man, that girl is a cellphone terrorist.

Hiding in your Cellphone

When someone tries to bypass an awkward situation when they're around people they have nothing to say to by pretending to be busy doing something with their cell phone. In fact, they know they're just looking at old text messages and lightly tapping the buttons or something.

Generally for people who don't know how to make idle conversation.
(One person is on the elevator when another person they KINDA know steps on)

Jim: Hi Sue, nice weather we're having.

Sue: Yeah it sure is!

....(awkward silence)

(both pull out their cell phones and stare at them blankly until the elevator reaches a stop)

(Bob who knows them both enters)

Bob: The old hiding in your cellphone trick eh? Doesn't anyone know how to make small talk anymore?

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
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.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
