stroking the gerbil

A phrase for describing the use of an iphone or iPod touch, due to how it appears when using a touchscreen.

Taken from Marcus Brigstocke's stand up, God Collar.

'That git, always stroking his gerbil'
'I'm off to stroke my gerbil'
'Will they even stop stroking their gerbils and talk to people!?'
Stroking the gerbil should not be used as stroking the gerbil, but like the examples above.
