An older form of communication from before mobile phones were so common. You didn't have to sign on for any of that "data plan" shit, they only cost a quarter to use, they had a handy little book filled with people's phone numbers in case you didn't know them, they didn't give you brain cancer, and they were easier for Superman to change in.
"Hmmmm, I could buy a cell phone and sign on for coverage and data plan, which would bleed me dry just so I can play crappy app games, or I could use the phone booth over there for just a fucking quarter. Decisions, decisions..."

Get the fuck the phonemug. A term used to describe self-righteous attitude through the phone, whether it be spoken or texted. Phone Sass is usually accompanied with the feeling you are boned (not literally), or have been ratted out. Phone Sass also applies to AIM, Skype, or any method of contact over long distances. Phone Sass is not quite as bad as face-to-face sass, in which you can't easily take a bathroom break or run to grab a drink like you can while on AIM.
