A humorous and annoying way to answer a phone call. The phrase derives from the movie "Elf," and is often used to keep telemarketers from calling a person's house, although this is not the phrase's only use. A twist between a prank call and an answering machine, the phrase is popular on sites such as MyLifeIsAverage.com.
NOTE: "Buddy the elf" is said as the name of the receiver, not the caller.

Get the Moon Elfmug. Rasa ludzko podobna. Imają się magią, nienawidzą ludzkości mimo ,że pomogli w jej stworzeniu. Na Ziemi nie widoczni dla oka ludzkiego. Pomagali w fałszowaniu historii i rozpetywaniu ludzkich wojen. Ich gatunek nazwany Elfami Wysokimi doświadczył rozłamu i część stanęła po stronie Człowieka a część pomagała krasnoludom odbudować ich światy. Obdarzeni wrażliwą duszą elfy Wysokie nadal chronią przed rozrostem mroku. Pomogli Chińczykom stworzyć sztuczne słońce ktoro zostało wysłane następnie w stronę gwiazdy aby ją odmłodzić.
