Ill give you a call later tonight.

　　Feifei: Ill give you a call. Right - so we could say:

　　Ill give you a buzz later tonight.

　　Finn: Or:

　　Ill give you a tinkle later tonight.

　　Finn: Or, you guessed it:

　　Ill give you a bell later tonight.

　　Finn: Thats it, easy. Right: so you now have three new ways to talk about making phone calls. But what about the word for phone itself?

　　(Dog barking sound)

　　Feifei: OK - well, that was the sound of a dog!

　　Finn: That was my dog, Frankie. Shhh, Frankie! Believe it or not - dog is a slang word for phone - it comes from a special kind of London slang called Cockney rhyming slang...

　　Feifei: Yes - this is a good one. 狗都喜欢啃骨头 dogs like bones, 短语 dog and bone 和 phone 连在一起说很押韵。Dog and bone, phone!

　　Finn: It does rhyme, yes, so in some parts of the UK youll hear it used in the same way as the phrase: on the phone... on the dog.

　　A: Wheres Malcolm?

　　B: Hes on the dog.

　　A: Tell him to come and find me when he finishes, ok?

　　(Dog barking sound)

　　Finn: Be quiet, Frankie!

　　(Dog whimpering sound)
