Tech > Word of the Day - Butt-Dialing

Butt-dialing - phoning someone inadvertently, such as by sitting on your cell phone.

I got butt-dialed today by Jay. It went to voicemail, and when I checked voicemail I heard him and his brother Judd riding around in Jay's Jeep Cherokee yucking it up about Warner Brothers cartoons. That went on until the voicemail timed out. I told him about it at dinner tonight and he thought it was hilarious, and he and Judd kept on yucking it up about the cartoons.

While Judd was here I brought out the pics from '86 when I drove to Memphis, visited with the Gregorys, and then me and Jay drove to New Orleans. Judd was three or four years old back then. He's about to graduate college now.

Wait till the little one is old enough to play with your phone and you'll discover the corallary to butt-dialing - baby dialing.

My son's called my boss, he's called the pizza place, he's called the local Indian take out place, he's called random people, etc.

When Katie plays with the phone and punches buttons we kid that she's calling China, but one day she probably will.
