Today’s addition to the mobile lexicon: butt dialing
June 25th, 2007

What’s the best term for the practice of accidentally dialing one’s phone when the device is in a pocket? Butt dialing is apparently the term of art.

The recipient of a butt-dialed call typically hears background talk, the sound of clothes rustling or the contents of the purse jostling. However, there’s the potential for embarrassment if the butt-dialer happens to be talking about sensitive business or personal issues.
