When in see a post like this, ibsee a new friend.
Fuck Edison you idea stealing cuck.
I heard he electrocuted an elephant.
Yeah because he wanted to make Teslas ac electricity look evil, but just made everyone there hate him.
Ahoy, guys.
Be the change you want to see in this world, don’t let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.
I answer with “Yes?”
It gets straight to the point
I always liked in Momento he picked up the phone and immediately asked, “Who is this?”
The dutch way
What if you end up in a verbal contract
Then say “yes?*”
*This is a question asking what you are calling for and does not create joinder.
Is this a sovcit thing?
Yup
All rights reserved?
Only if you speak it at a 45-degree angle in red. If you buy my audio book I’ll explain how to do this.
Ahoy hoy
Excellent
Fun fact - this is why Mr. Burns always answers the phone with “ahoy”
Imagine Edison trying to patent the “hello” greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".At this point I think there are more incel fanbois overhyping Tesla, still believing he really did have perpetual energy death rays invented by Ancient Egyptian aliens
Dude was brilliant, but he was also very, very crazy… and a name that comes up a lot when I’m on the “Spirit Science and Ancient Aliens are perfectly valid methods of self-education in comparison.” side of Youtube
Not that I’m defending Edison mind you, every cent he ever gained was earned by Tesla.
Pronto
Is it just to swedes “pronto” sounds like it would mean “hurry up”? Or is that everyone?
Vad har det med Sverige att göra? As a Spanish speaker, that’s just one its meanings in Spanish.
Oh, maybe thats where I’m getting it from then. I know other swedes who have reacted that way to hearing an italian answering the phone.
Based Meucci enjoyer
Let’s compromise!
Alloy.
Or what we can agree on: HO. Omg Santa was right all along.
Great, now I’m fighting metal dinosaurs.
Edison was a cunt.
Thomas Edison kinda looks like my granduncle who was beating his wife.
Your Gruncle, you say?
In Korean, answering call has a very specific phrase 여보세요. It means look here but the phrase is now only and solely used when answering call.
slow heavy breathing
open mouth chewing on potato chips “Yeah?”
“TIMMY, put those down!”

… the Bartender Moe response
Moshi Moshi
I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used. Apparently it’s also just a casual way of saying “I’m ready to talk” and was used by early telephone operators in Japan. It’s most likely people just ended up copying the phrase from operators and aren’t worried about being tricked by foxes.

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.
Mosh moof
Fuck, I can’t do it, they’re right!
Better luck next time, nine-tails.
Japanese people answer their phone like that, everything is fine.
I answer my phone like that, I’m branded a weaboo for the rest of my life.
Just as the ducks at the park are free, there is also no legal requirement to answer the phone in particular way. Hit folks with a, “Ahoyhoy”, “Howdy”, “Whats good brother?”, or for the more adventurous, “Ralphs Roadkill Cafe. You kill it, we grill it.”
My go to is “Yellow”
Mine is somewhere between yellow and howdy. If you call a Texas Drunk you should be prepared for a “Yeowdy”.
Snackbar Harry, Harry speaking
“Dave’s pizza and abortion clinic, your loss is our sauce” is a particularly spicy one I’ve heard.
Jim’s abortion clinic … We deletus your fetus
Fetus Deletus was my favorite spell to cast at Hogwarts.
“You rape em, we scrape em”
(I do not condone this message)
I usually hit my friends with the “sup fuckface”
I throw a fucko out there into the world every now on then
“Duffy’s Morgue, you stab em we slab em.”
I usually get people with: “Anons Morgue: you kill ‘em, we chill ‘em.”
“You bag 'em, we tag 'em”
In my family it was variations of “Hello, Joe’s whatever. Insert rhyme here.”
One of my favorites was “Joe’s mortuary, you stab 'em we slab 'em.”
My dad’s go to is “Joe’s Bar and Grill, this is Grill speaking”. Sometimes he’ll shake it up and answer as Bar instead
“Jimbo’s Fish Fry; you hook 'em we cook 'em!”
Was always my favorite. Probably because I would love to take a restaurant a bucket of fresh-caught bluegill and come back in a couple hours to dinner. Filleting all those little bastards is a pain…
