Cell trance

A trance-like state invoked by talking through a cellphone, in which people walk around and fumble with things aimlessly. People in cell trance often have a mindless, blank look on their face and complete disregard for their surroundings. Often occurs when people are standing still and start talking trough their cellphone.

Also called itrance, if the phone used to invoke the cell trance is an iPhone.

The best places to look for people in cell trance are public places where people are standing or waiting, e.g. a train/bus stop or a fast-food restaurant.

My friend went in to cell trance last night and almost got hit by a car, because he did not pay attention to his surroundings.

See that guy over there wandering about aimlessly? Probably cell trance.
