Exciting to see that click bait has made its way into the research realm.
Nobody would be the least bit interested in this paper if it didnt have a funny sounding made up word with no known definition in the title.
- schott12521 5y agoEh, the word has been part of the dictionary for a few years now (almost a decade!): https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/phubbing https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/phubb... I think it makes sense to use the correct terminology when writing a research paper.
- anm89 5y agoThese dictionaries have become urban dictionary competitors collecting definitions for exactly these kind of obscure funny sounding words in a bid to stay relevant. Im a native English speaker who reads extensively on related topics and ive never once heard this word used until now.
