Noun: The crystalline residue that forms on the smooth plastic surface of a cellular telephone display by one’s ear during a call. If the display is not wiped off on one’s pant leg after each use, schmear will solidify into the characteristic hardened crystalline coating. Schmear will require the application of a solvent, sometimes saliva, to restore the normal appearance of the display. Also spelled Schm-Ear.
