farkholemt
lost in a daydream; mentally somewhere else · adjective (past participle used adjectivally)
The look someone gets when you've asked them the same question twice and they're still somewhere else—not asleep, and not really thinking about anything in particular.

“She's sitting by the window completely farkholemt, and the coffee's going cold.”
Picture the last time someone had to say your name twice before you noticed.
