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.

Man being the head elf is not all it is cracked up to be. Santa cums a small river and expects me to swallow.

Wild elves are hardier that their cousins and have a reputation for being fierce, indomitable warriors. Wild elves aren't noted for their brains.
