Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:56:01 +0000 Zomobi https://blog.interordi.com/zomobi <![CDATA[You know those people that seem oblivious to their surroundings when walking around? The ones that tend to be most often messing with their phones, or sometimes lost in a book? The ones who will usually walk in the middle of a sidewalk or corridor, sometimes swaying from side to side, usually walking too slowly for the crowd? I propose a new word to call these people: ZOMOBI. A contraction of "zombie" and "mobile", zomobi describes how they're most often brainlessly moving ahead, often with a mobile device in their hands. As a bonus point, it works in both the languages I use the most: English and French. So, when you're out and about, don't be a zomobi: pay attention to what's going on around you! #vocabulary #mobile #musings - Doctacosa]]> You know those people that seem oblivious to their surroundings when walking around?
