receiv'n

the act of speaking to someone on the telephone, who then puts you on hold, and proceeds to forget they were talking to you in the first place.

A marriage of the words receiver (i.e., phone receiver) and hanging (don't leave me hanging bro)

I was talking to Lisa on the phone, until she put me on hold, and never came back. She just left me receiv'n.
