phantom reading

When you’ve read an entire book but can’t remember a single thing that it said.

In school I was phantom reading.

Phantom Clock Hit

The Phantom Clock Hit is a bullshit chess strategy for timed games, in which a player feigns pressing their clock after making their move in an attempt to bait their opponent into making an illegal move by not playing on their own time.

"You bitch, you pulled a Phantom Clock Hit?!?!?"

Phantom Period

Phantom Periods are typically defined as period pain that comes and goes in a vague manner. You will find yourself on the toilet hunched over in pain, only to realize the pain isn't really THAT bad, or even worse, that there wasn't any pain in the first place. This type of pain cannot be conveyed properly in speech.

Me: I'm having a Phantom Period.
Period Normie: what's that?
Me: When you're on your period and it hurts but it also doesn't.
Period Normie: da fuk

Phantom flavor

When you drink a lot of one kind of alcohol, then the next day you suddenly taste that alcohol again in your mouth all at once for no reason. Only lasts a few moments, but the memory can be painful. Often occurs in conjunction with a hangover.

I was sitting at my computer all day after playing Edward 40-hands and I suddenly got phantom flavor of malt liquor. Made me want to die.

Phantom internet

This occurs when your preferred DNS server stops responding, or is no longer available, presumably due to your router.
When you already have a connection with another server/computer during this event, it is called "phantom internet", or internet remaining that might soon fade away due to packet loss or new requests, since new requests (usually) attempt to resolve a hostname from the unavailable DNS. Similar to phantom pain.

Person 1: My internet had an outage last night.
Person 2: Ah, that sucks.
Person 1: Luckily I had some phantom internet to finish my ongoing match!
