You ain't lying.

No one called the house like that though. And once we got called id, it was mainly my mom's family calling to talk to her.

I don't ever recall pops talking on the phone at home. My brother would talk to females, and my sister would talk to her female friends.

I didn't talk to my male friends on the phone like that. If I did it would be "is xxx home? Yo, I'm coming over" that's it.

My parents bought me a cellphone in like 98. So id do all my talking with broads on it.

How does the coli think we supposed to answer the phone?!

 

[The Pledge]

Not answering my cellphone like that

Maybe if we still had house phones.

 

[315]

No

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Never did, but I answer like this every now and then.

'eeeello? Yeah? Who dis?

 

[feelosofer]

My father did when I was a boy. But he's in Bill Cosby's age range. Might be generational.

 

[MajesticLion]

Landline was the phone for the household. Cell phones are personal.

 

[Rell84shots]

Nope, But my uncle and a few of my cousins do

 

[RhodyRum]

OP is obviously talking about a time when he was still using a landline.

[bIdk why y'all do that thing where you come into a thread and be willfully obtuse lol.[/b]

Because logic and coherence goes straight out the window when it's time to get these jokes off.
