I have caller id, so I usually know whos calling:

"hello" if its a relative or a friend
"what up bitch" if its my best friend
"hi baby" if its one of my kids
"what do you want" if its my ex
"hola" if its a spanish speaking relative

I must admit, I have a problem with answering my phone. I get too lazy and if its not within reach, i let it ring.

confused

You forgot what you say if it's me calling...which is, "Oh, good lord...YOU again??"


Nope, I would never say such a thing. I welcome your sweet voice razz

Sorry, Lionel Richie don't live here falloff


If I am grumpy I may say "what do you want"? Which is geared only to those that only phone me when they only "want" something.

When I answer the phone, I act out the skit from the end of Jughead where Tony makes a fool out of that sleazy moneyminder.

My friends stopped calling me months ago because of this, but that's cool, they're probably all moneyminders.

I sometimes say the typical Jersey "Yello" , or "Hola" ( even though I don't speak spanish)

I hate when you call some one and they say "Talk." That sounds so rude to me.

At work I either answer the phone "Traffic" (don't ask) or "This is Carrie".
At home it's just "hello" but I tend to say it kind of silly with a weird intonation and long drawn out "ooooohhhh".

falloff Funny you should say that, because I used to say "Talk!" when I knew my best friend was calling, like Sonny T. says on the one track off the Exodus CD. My friend used to crack up laughing when I said that. In fact, she would say "Talk!" when I would call her sometimes. It was like a running joke between the two of us, one that only a Prince fan would understand. lol

If I know who it is... could be a number of possibilities:

" It's your dime!"
"Tell me you love me!"
"what are you wearing...?"
" And you know that dumbass (insert callers name here) is always fucking something up.... oh , uh.... umm hi (insert callers name here).... I was just talking about you... "
