butt dials and booty calls

Hahahaha haha!

In the comic, an older woman is standing in her kitchen, on the phone with her grown son.
(Actually, it could be her grown daughter, but I pictured a son. All we see are the words from said grown child, so it's non-gender specific.)
The words were: "Ma, it sounds the same. Still, a "butt dial" is different than a "booty call." You didn't booty call the gerontologist."

Hahahaha haha! Right?

Of course, if she didn't have one of those flat, featureless phones,
she wouldn't have even had that conversation concerning confusion
about the meanings of new jargon.
Sure, butt and booty are synonymous terms for the rear-located sitting down part of the human anatomy.
In other words, not the lap.
And dial and call are synonymous, too, as a means of making contact to another person by phone.
You know, to 'reach out and touch someone", as Ma Bell once said.
So I can understand her confusion.
Maybe she doesn't have grandkids or younger friends to help her keep up with lingo.

Maybe, she just needs a different type of cell phone.
With a flip phone, like mine, an unintentional phone call to a recently dialed number, i.e., a "butt dial", simply never happens.
Never.
Never ever.
In the eight years that I have had a cell phone, not once have I ever butt dialed anyone.
Not
even
once.

Booty calls are another thing, though! My phone has made a few of those, from time to time, at my behest.
You know, to share my milkshake.

Hahahaha haha!
