Describes a person whose personality and habits scream 'always on the phone' — someone who processes everything through calls and texts, can't sit with silence, and treats their device like a life-support system. Blower-coded people will ring you three times before considering a text, forward your number without asking, and narrate events in real time to someone who isn't there. A lovable but slightly exhausting trait that anyone who grew up pre-smartphone will recognise in certain aunties, fixers, and social butterflies.
