Cellout: /cell-out/ Brian's rudeness was abounding. Whenever he got a call, he would cellout, totally ignoring the person he was with.

Cellout is uncivil, uncultured, boorish, tasteless, insensitive, disrespectful, ill-mannered, loutish, discourteous and just damn plain rude and impolite. Etymology: cell + sell out Created by: Stevenson0.

Cellphcentered: /self-sen-turd/ Jack was so cellphcentered that he had his cell phone surgically attached to his ear Etymology: cell phone + self centered ( really implies cell phone centered) Created by: Jabberwocky.

Ringslave: /-ˈɹɪŋsleɪv-/ I worry about becoming a ringslave because I do answer the phone almost immediately every time it rings, but I think my humanity may be saved by the fact that I seem incapable of carrying on a conversation that lasts more than 30 seconds over the phone. Etymology: From ring + slave Created by: ErWenn.
