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.

A predatory sexual tactic used to seduce women by acting like a Christmas loving simpleton.
Generally targets urban professional women returning home for the holidays who are unsatisfied by their career and/or rebounding from a difficult break up.
Characterized by an initial display of childlike intelligence coupled with an inexplicable aptitude for Christmas related activities, followed by the revelation of a tight physique, acts of service for her parents, niece/nephews, the community, or in some cases her own child if Dad is out of the picture.
