  • Hello, welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Rob.

  • And I'm Katherine.

  • So, Katherine, how long do you spend on your smartphone?

  • My smartphone, not that long, really only about 18 or 19 hours.

  • No, sorry, I meant in a day, not in a week.

  • That's what I meant to, Rob, a day.

  • Oh, wow, so you've even got it right here.

  • Yep, got it now, Rob.

  • Yes, I should, I should actually tell you that I suffer from FOMO.

  • FOMO.

  • FOMO, fear of missing out.

  • Something cool or interesting might be happening.

  • Somewhere, Rob, and I want to be sure I catch it.

  • So, I have to keep checking my phone to make sure, you know,

  • I don't miss out on anything.

  • Oh, so we could call you a FUBBA.

  • Hello, I said so you're a FUBBA, someone who ignores other people because you'd rather look at your phone.

  • Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah.
