-
An adjective used to convey an idea of something becoming outdated or old. This is an expression that would constantly evolve and as technological advances are found, it is likely that the word cell phone could take its place.
Before the advent of [Blackberries] and cellphones we had [beepers] also known as pagers. These primitive devices allowed one to receive a call and be notified that someone was trying to reach them. [The beeper] would display the phone number that the person trying to reach you wanted to be [called back] at.
[Beepers] were an amazing excuse for lazy people. It was like a cell phone with a built-in excuse. Nowadays you miss a call, you know you gotta call the other person back cause the phone is obviously with you. WIth a beeper it was like, Oh shit man, couldnt get in touch with you. Got the page but there wasnt a phone around and I didnt have change for the pay-phone. (Read, I dont want to talk to your freak ass). -
a small device, usually carried or worn on the body, that vibrates or makes a noise to tell you that someone wants you to phone them
