Own private Idaho.
this is a phrase taken directly from the 1980 dance pop song, “your own private idaho” by the outrageous party band, the b-52’s.
it means “living inside an idaho potato”, or a very small sp-ce. metaphorically, it refers to someone who is not paying attention because he is daydreaming, or under the influence, or otherwise wrapped up within his own very narrow sphere of interest or frame of reference.

p-ssenger: yeah, he’s just yakking away on his cellphone, in his own private idaho.
