Originally derived from the term used in a detention setting, like prison, when numerous individuals are made to share a limited number of telephones. When all the telephones are in use and another believes that it is his/her time to now take the opportunity to use the phone, and one of the individuals using the phone should end their call. In that case one would go to the the individual using the telephone and let them know that they need to relinquish (get off) the telephone by simpling stating the phrase "Phone check" and if that individual refuses then s/he could face repercussions(consequences) that come with the refusal, up to and including being murdered. A phone check itself is NOT a stabbing. A stabbing, beating, rape, or any violate act can be RESULT of a phone check.
