ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Phubbing

Phubbing is a new way of saying someone is being ignored because they are on their phone. It happens a lot when people are with their friends, but it can even happen when people are with family, like when someone is out at dinner. Phubbing means that one person is too busy with their phone to pay attention to people around them. It's rude and can hurt people's feelings. So, next time you're with someone, put your phone away and give them your full attention.
