voicemailism

Weird nicknames of people you know based on the home voicemail machine absolutely butchering their name on the caller ID.

Why do new Panasonic land line phones come loaded with that awful 1980's era voice? It leads to rampant voicemailism after voicemailism.

Voicemail Concert

The act of recording parts of an especially kickass concert to the voicemail of an unfortunate friend unable to make it there due to school, work, or monentary troubles, so they don't feel quite as left out.

A close cousin to the phonecall concert, it allows for convenience and multiple listens.

Jake: Aw man, Matt and Kim are tearing up the stage with Daylight right now! I feel bad Nick can't be here to see this!
Mike: Oh don't worry about it, I'm leaving Nick a Voicemail Concert!

Nick (the next day): Dude you don't know how much I appreciate this. I don't even care that the audio sucks balls.

caught on voicemail

A situation where a conversation not meant to be heard by a third party is recorded on voicemail or answering machine, due to one participant dialling a number (perhaps unintentionally) and forgetting to hang up after the call was not answered. The voicemail then activates and records the conversation. The person, on whose voicemail the conversation was recorded, can then listen to the conversation he/she was not meant to hear, and if necessary, provide it as evidence.
Such voice messages are often of poor sound quality, due to cell phone being placed in a pocket or purse, but often can be clear enough for the listener to extract the main idea.

Kate: So, I've heard you're going out with Adam? That's just two days after I broke up with him!?
Lana: Ahm... ... Who told you?
Kate: I heard your whole conversation with Carol on my voicemail. You called me, and must have forgotten to hang up after I didn't answer.
Lana: F***! I can't believe it got caught on voicemail!

voicemail jail

A pre-recorded telephone answering system where callers are asked to press numbers on their telephone to hear different messages. Can often lead callers in circles, preventing them from doing what they are trying to do. These are most often used by large companies who are too cheap to get real people to answer the phone.

I tried to call the carpeting company but I got stuck in a voicemail jail.

new england voicemail

When you set your phone to vibrate, shove it into your ass, and have your partner call you repeatedly.

Last night, she gave me a new england voicemail, so I had to void the warranty today.
