A cellphone that has gone missing for days on end. A phone without a home.
I have looked all over the house and checked several lost-and-founds for my phone, but I can't find it anywhere. Please come home, little orphone!

Words you can keep
A child who is neglected by parents who are perpetually on the smartphone or tablet or any other technological device. In other words, the child is made an orphan by technology.
I feel sorry for the orphones as their parents think that checking the latest updates and news are more important than them.

Abbreviation of "Obama Phone," the free wireless phones provided for low-income Americans by the FTC's Lifeline program.

Because the phones are provided free to low-income persons, the benefit is assumed to come from President Obama.
Only a fool would work to get a new iPhone when an oPhone is free.

Orphaned body part 

When someone shares pictures that are a close-up or cropped to only show one body part. It is commonly done with genitalia and feet, but can be done with any body part. This could be done for different reasons.

For example men may do this by sharing pics of their penises and women by sharing pics of their feet to be sexual.

People who are obese will share these pictures to focus on the one part of their body they are comfortable with or feel is the most attractive.
When someone sends a photo of an orphaned body part and nothing else you know they are hiding something.

orphaned drink 

1. (descriptive noun) A drink that is abandoned on purpose. Originates from those at parties who get a drink to fit in with the crowd but truly do not want to drink, leading to placing the drink in a convenient location where it cannot be identified with its original owner, thus giving others the impression that the original owner drank it already and is thus partying like the rest of the crowd.
2. (verb) "to orphan". The act of abandoning the drink.
1. Jash: "Dude, someone left a glass of scotch on the counter!"
Jon: "Oh that was Sandpit. If you pour him something, consider it an orphaned drink."

2. Joe: "That guy keeps getting drinks without finishing his old ones!"
Jon: "Yeah, he likes to orphan his drinks."

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.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
