Another relationship term by the new generation

[DuMa]

phubbing

It is when you talk to someone and they are multitasking by picking up their phone, texting while talking to you.

It is kind of rude but it is also a defense mechanism that is done by women who doesn't want to talk to you.  Like when you argue with them and they are losing, they will take out their phone and ignore what you have to say to them. 

phubbing, that's the word

Some people are just that way. They don't think that they're being rude and disrespectful.

I have this one introverted sister-in-law. She was telling me that her sisters frequently come over to the house. They're on their phones the entire time and the thing is it doesn't sound like they are carrying any conversation of importance.
