Dial-up

Related to the past. Out of style. Something outdated.

I have a VCR at home...That is so dial-up...

Girl, those shoes are so dial-up...

dial-up

Slow medium for connecting to the Internet, which some people STILL use because:
1. They can't afford broadband (understandable, unlike the following)
2. They don't know about other ways to connect
3. They've been brainwashed into thinking AOL is number one

I'm surprised dial-up isn't free.

dial-up

an internet connection that doesnt allow the people using it to talk on the phone at the same time, if you call someones house while their on dial-up internet you will recieve a sound so horrid that it will make your ears bleed.
