Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?

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.

*phone rings*
Receiver: Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?
Telemarketer: Uh...
*Telemarketer hangs up and never calls the house again*

Alternate response:
*phone rings*
Receiver: Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?
Receiver's friend/Caller: Black.
Receiver: Black isn't a color, it's a shade.
*argument about if black is a color*

Elf Shoes

Elf shoes are pieces of leftover pizza that are at least a few days old. Defined by the “curl” at the point of the pizza slice, looking like an elf shoe. Typically, elf shoes happen because leftover pizza wasn’t refrigerated. While its not safe to consume pizza that’s been left out for more than a few hours, we’re all guilty of leaving the pizza box out for a few days, slowly chipping away at the leftover elf shoes.

“Hey, bro. You wanna help me finish this box of elf shoes? “

“I should have known that those elf shoes would make me feel like crap!”

Elf Jacking

(Verb) The act of rubbing an elf's ears, sexually.

Applies to D&D and LoTR elves
Not Keebler (that is frosting)
Not Santa's (that's workplace harassment)

Did you know elf ears are so sensitive, they can cum if you rub them right? Gotta love a good elf jack.

I don't know where the wizard is, probably elf jacking the spawn again.
