Just as the ducks at the park are free, there is also no legal requirement to answer the phone in particular way. Hit folks with a, “Ahoyhoy”, “Howdy”, “Whats good brother?”, or for the more adventurous, “Ralphs Roadkill Cafe. You kill it, we grill it.”
“Dave’s pizza and abortion clinic, your loss is our sauce” is a particularly spicy one I’ve heard.
“You rape em, we scrape em”
(I do not condone this message)
“Duffy’s Morgue, you stab em we slab em.”
Snackbar Harry, Harry speaking
Edison deserves hate for more than that
Fuck Edison.
I love the fact that Burns answers the phone this way. Subtle jokes like this are the reason why The Simpsons is infinitely rewatchable.
Edison was a cunt.
Edison was apparently quite successful, to the point where some languages other than English have a word that sounds like “hello” (for example, Russian “allo”) which is used only when answering the phone.
That makes sense cause in Brazil we say “alô” when answering the phone, a word that only seems to exist for this single purpose.
In Finnish we also say “haloo”

open mouth chewing on potato chips “Yeah?”
“TIMMY, put those down!”

Funny thing: “Hello” was actually not a common greeting until that point.
Ahoy hoy
Excellent
opens phone, “…moshi mo…” infinibonked for weebery
Had to look it up, and the story is actually really interesting. Heres a great article from NPR

Let’s compromise!
Alloy.
Or what we can agree on: HO. Omg Santa was right all along.
Great, now I’m fighting metal dinosaurs.
Imagine Edison trying to patent the “hello” greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".At this point I think there are more incel fanbois overhyping Tesla, still believing he really did have perpetual energy death rays invented by Ancient Egyptian aliens
Dude was brilliant, but he was also very, very crazy… and a name that comes up a lot when I’m on the “Spirit Science and Ancient Aliens are perfectly valid methods of self-education in comparison.” side of Youtube
Not that I’m defending Edison mind you, every cent he ever gained was earned by Tesla.
I answer with “Yes?”
It gets straight to the point
I always liked in Momento he picked up the phone and immediately asked, “Who is this?”
The dutch way
Yo bitch.
