Anyone still refer to their phone as a "cell phone?"

That's weird to me when I hear people say "cell phone." What are you, 73 years old? Just say phone. Or when people just call it a cell. "I'll put your number in my cell." Okay, sounds good, ancient elder. Sounds good, Mr. I Was Old When This World Was Young. Put it in your cell. In fact, just write it in your address book, sitting by your rotary telephone.

My dad still has one of those.

We had one, but I want to say that was back in the early 90's. Can't remember. I remember when a lot of people had the mounted phones in their vehicles.

Wow you're so cool, young, and hip. Not like those old fuckers that call phones cellphones, eat whoppers(the candy), or skateboard longer than they should.

I know you're being facetious, but I stand by my opinions.

I use cell phone and phone interchangeably. I currently have a basic cell phone and a non-service smartphone that I use for Wi-Fi access and sometimes I'll call my smartphone a smartphone or call it an Android to differentiate from my basic cell phone when needed in conversation.

I think the English call theirs mobiles instead.
