phonic thug 

anyone who uses his phone / portable audio device on public transport, forcing their fellow passengers to listen to horrifically tinny blasts of what are usually the lamest songs on the radio

offenders usually require multiple requests to lower the volume / turn off the device, and it always helps if more than one person gets involved.
"hey, kid! turn that shit off! damned phonic thugs intruding on my phone calls..."

"the ride sucked - some phonic thugs hopped on just after me, and that's gotta be the worst sounding crap i've ever heard. i'd be embarrassed if people thought i listened to that pathetic shit"

"dude - i'm trying to sleep / read / not tear your stupid phonic thug head off, shut that shit down or get off the damn bus!"

Mispronounce-SupposEDly. NOT- supposively, supposubly,supposofly, etc..

Misuse of words-Indigenous instead of indigent

Misspellings-TendONitis, not tendINitis.
AdvisOR, not advisER.

This could also lend itself to beginning sentences with "and" or "but".

Mike-I'm going down to the Tigers game tonight.

Dave-Better leave early, supposively there's new contruction on 94.

Mike-Dude, you mean supposEDly. These damn phonic booms are becoming much too frequent.

Crap-o-phonic 

A 'crapophonic' (crap-o-phonic) speaker is sometimes built into budget audio equipment. Sometimes it is used in professional equipment as well in order to provide an alternative to headphones.
The speaker is of poor quality and delivers a barely acceptable output, but is adequate in professional equipment to audition the sound.

Can also be applied to built in microphones in some equipment.
The Marantz recorder has a crap-o-phonic speaker built in. This enables you to audition the sound you have just recorded - however, you would not enjoy full reproduction, or want to endure its output for long.

The crapophonic microphones did the job in an emegency, but good, purpose built plug in microphones would have been better.
