{{GlossaryTerm
 | term = phantom slam
 | letter = P
 | def1 = always comes on and goes off and comes on and goes off and a phantom [[Glossary/SLAM|slam]] has this characteristic; that it never obeys the [[Glossary/AUDITOR|auditor]]. The phantom [[Glossary/SLAM|slam]] may turn on and louse you up on the [[Glossary/LIST|list]] as to which [[Glossary/ITEM|item]] is [[Glossary/ROCK|rock]] slamming. You don't ever get a phantom [[Glossary/SLAM|slam]] on an uncharged [[Glossary/LIST|list]]. The [[Glossary/LIST|list]] has to be "hotter than a pistol" to turn the [[Glossary/SLAM|slam]] on. Completely aside from the phantom [[Glossary/SLAM|slam]] this type of [[Glossary/CASE|case]] will never do what you tell them. You say, "Has anything been suppressed?" and they don't think about suppressing something, they think about something else.
