iBlower or iBlast

iBlower / iBlast: The very unfortunate portmanteau of iPhone and blower or blast (as in, 'to blow up'). An exploding/exploded iPhone and/or similar exploding communications device. Not a particularly funny term, but one you need to be aware of if you own/use one of these devices.
