Phonemando

Similar to leaving the house with no underwear. Going phonemando is defined as leaving the house/car without your cell phone.

Dude my cell battery was dead, and I had to leave it at home in the charger. I hate going phonemando, I feel so naked

phonemic

A person who throws up the the smallest phonetic unit in a language that is capable of conveying a distinction in meaning, such as the m of mat and the b of bat in English.

That English paper was really bad. Are you a phonemic?

Phonemance

I coined this phrase years ago after dealing with several similar situations...

When you take an online "relationship" offline and talk on the phone. Usually involves spending countless hours texting and talking about everything, acting almost as if you are a couple, without meeting.

If dragged on too long, it can result in disappointment.

I'm not really into having a phonemance with you, if we are feeling each other, lets get together and hang out!
