telecaster 

An early electric guitar design by Leo Fender, which has a bolt on neck, bridge and neck single coil pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone, and 3-way toggle.
If you're looking for a twangy sound, look no further than a tele.
It is still one of the most recognizable guitars today, right behind the Stratocaster and Les Paul.
Joe Strummer of The Clash is famouse for playing a Telecaster.

Telecaster 

a misunderstood guitar in my opinion that was created by Leo Fender. It the first completely solidbody electric guitar ever mass produced but was origionally known as the Broadcaster, it has two single coil pickups, a volume and a tone knob, and a steel plate bridge. I say it's misunderstood because since the Telecaster has such a twangy sound it is commonly used by dance indy combos such as Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkey's which is fine, but what ever happened to the rocking Tele? I speak of Graham Coxon's fine work in Blur, or Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead (best band ever), or indeed Matt Bellamy of Muse? Please musicians hear my call, bring back the rocking Tele!
The Telecaster was used by Graham Coxon, Thom Yorke, Johhny Greenwood, Matt Bellamy, The Eagles, The Clash etc.

Telescammer 

A telescammer is someone who will call you constantly, claiming to be from big companies (such as the Microsoft, tax office, your ISP or bank, etc) in the hopes of tricking you into divulging your personal details such as bank numbers, social security numbers or tax file numbers - which they will often use to steal money or set up accounts in your name. Many of these telescammers run out of Indian call centres.
"Ugh I am so sick of these telescammers, calling daily and saying they are from Microsoft and want to fix my PC".

That sleazy Telescamgelist Joel Osteen told his flock of sheeple that God said he needed a new private airplane, so they all obliged.

Matthew is such a telespammer, he called me four times from the football game last night to tell me what he was doing.

telecasleep 

To deceive one's boss/co-workers into believing you are telecommuting, and, instead, shirk your professional responsibilities and sleep-in (often through the afternoon and typically after a heavy night's drinking).
My fellow inebriates and I ended up telecasleeping last Friday after a late night's revelry that culminated in our collective incarceration and subsequent jailbreak. Thankfully, my boss was none the wiser.
