hello-phone[edit]

unlikely to get much use these days, but i wonder if hello-phone could be attested as a children's word for telephone, or if it's the sort that adults make up "because it's cute". I remember hearing on an episode of Rugrats something like "umm... we're not 'upposed to use the hello-phone." For that matter i wonder if 'upposed is worth a try. that word, at least, wont go out of date with the change of technology. Soap 05:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
