英語口語コーナーコミュのTelephone slangs

... "Then he hung up on me." Can you believe that?

to hang up = to hang up the phone without finishing a conversation. Usually on a fight over the phone.

The phone has been "ringing off the hook".It alwyas rings after hanging up the phone. (frequent phone calls)

Did you get her digits? = Did you get her phone number?

Please post more slangs and idioms about "telephone".

I hope this is really useful for you guys.

When I answer the phone for my big boss, I usually have to ask who they are. I use "May I tell her/his who's calling?". My previous boss told me to use this term instead of "May I ask who is calling please".

I know this is not slang but i thought this is good to know. maybe you can impress your customer/client?
