papa-can-you-hear-me

Based on the Barbra Streisand line - and song - from "Yentl". Used to define a person desperately seeking recognition.
- What do you think of my new orkut community, "friends that love me so much?"
- Oh, you're so papa-can-you-hear-me!

Can you hear me now?

The next time that Verizon Wireless guy says this overrought old cliche that has worn out its welcome and was already stale before this shitty decade even began, I'm gonna throw an Ottoman stool at the damn TV and watch an electronic flash as the screen is shattered from the impact.
1. I turn on the TV. It's commercial time beings that a show has just ended. The Verizon guy whips out his cell phone. YES he says it AGAIN: "Can you hear me now?"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" #SMASH!#

2. Not only can I hear you now but you're annoying the hell outta me! You'd better shut it up now!

Can you hear me now?

A catchy marketing tagline that disappeared from the global lexicon after spacemobile was created
"Can you hear me now?"

"Bro... Stop asking me that.... Of course I can. I have Spacemobile. You a Starlink user or something?"

Yo, you hear me?

Used to get someone’s attention when they are clearly already listening to you

Also to interrupt them and derail their train of thought

You don’t hear me preaching on a Sunday

When you tell someone that something is a bad idea, they don’t believe you, and still do it anyways. The equivalent of “I told you so.”
Me: “We probably shouldn’t do anal.”
Us: *do anal
Wife: “Great, there’s shit on the comforter.”
Me: “Yeah, I knew this would happen, but you don’t hear me preaching on a Sunday.”
