ahaha, I do this. Except not for CrazyJP, I don't know the guy.


If I don't recognze the number, I'll use my title and my name.

Other than that:
"Whatcha say?"
"Ahoy - hoy"
"Talk to me Goose"
"Diga me"
"Well hello there young lady."

"i heard baonest answer the phone by saying "speak" a few times, i thought it was the funniest thing."

lolol i think i might have to start doing this



personal cell: "hey." (i don't answer calls if the caller ID is blocked/i don't know the number, i let them go to voicemail)

work blackberry: "this is evan."

office phone: "evan kinney."

work: "This is Dennis" - I usually do this even when its a direct call to my office

friends: "Ahoy" or "tell me something good"

parents/family: "hey"

2/25/2008 8:43:01 AM

"talk to me, baby"


not really

2/25/2008 8:48:34 AM

Or "yellow"

2/25/2008 8:54:43 AM

sometimes.

for folks I know, it's usually "hey" in some form.

For #s I don't know, I answer "This is Christine"

2/25/2008 8:54:44 AM

At work, usually hello

Cell either hello or hey

pretty boring.

2/27/2008 10:41:55 AM

if i know who is calling and we're good friends i'll answer various casual ways

otherwise it's just hello

however on my work cell i say "caterpillar, this is holly" and i don't like it

2/27/2008 11:00:43 AM

In college, my girlfriend's last name was Cox. Her roommate was Love.


"Love - Cox residence this is [name]"

2/27/2008 11:04:51 AM

^That's fucking cool as Hell.

2/27/2008 11:06:21 AM

^^^

Why do you say it if you don't like it?

2/27/2008 11:12:57 AM

I think I should start saying "ahoy-ahoy"; Alexander Graham Bell tried to make that the standard greeting but it never took off. Mr. Burns says it every time he answers.

2/27/2008 11:31:43 AM

mostly hello
somtimes i say "who dis"
or if it is a particular friend - i say "WTF DO YOU WANT AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MY DINNER"

2/27/2008 11:35:29 AM

if its my girl I say ay bay bay
if its one of my boys I say yo
if its an important professor or boss I say yes sir
unknown numbers get the hello

2/27/2008 12:11:02 PM

I say "ELLO GOVNR!"

2/27/2008 12:12:22 PM

if ont he cell and it's someone i know, it's a yo or hey, what's up

if it's not, it's usually Hello

2/27/2008 12:15:11 PM

I say YELLOW.

2/27/2008 12:18:05 PM

^ I too say Yellow.

2/27/2008 12:21:53 PM

That's one "southern" thing that I do without even realizing it.

2/27/2008 12:25:25 PM

"who dis?"

2/27/2008 12:26:10 PM

i don't answer my phone.

2/27/2008 12:28:11 PM

yeshello usually

2/27/2008 7:47:07 PM

i say "alright...talk to you later....bye."

then the caller is all confused like we had already had the conversation that we had not yet had yet.

2/27/2008 7:50:46 PM

depends on who it is. usually i say hiiiiiii hey or yo or sometimes what up

2/27/2008 7:51:51 PM

if there is caller id, it depends on who it is. Either a "yelllllo" or a "hiya"

I used to answer my phone with "ahoy hoy" but i haven't done that in awhile

2/27/2008 7:57:21 PM

You've got Gold!

i dont know how else to answer my work phone and in my line of work its customary to answer with your name

some people just say "bob jones" or whatever their first and last name is-- no hello just their name. i can't do that, too weird for me

3/1/2008 2:17:12 AM

If I know who it is:

"Yo."
"Yo, <name>."
"Hey, <name>."


If I don't know:

"Hello?"

3/1/2008 2:18:25 AM

Work: McClatchy Interactive
Mom or Dad: What's up?
Anyone else: YO!

3/1/2008 2:20:34 AM

RawWulf,

Where do you work at McClatchy? I boned a chick that worked there. She may know you.

3/1/2008 2:23:58 AM

pick up the phone ----------silence----------- wait for the caller to announce him/herself


(on the off chance that i field the call)
