voicemail

The only way someone who doesn't text and I don't know will have any means of contacting me via phone.

If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail.

voicemailism

Weird nicknames of people you know based on the home voicemail machine absolutely butchering their name on the caller ID.

Why do new Panasonic land line phones come loaded with that awful 1980's era voice? It leads to rampant voicemailism after voicemailism.

Voicemailed

Sent to voicemail.

Phone: "Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice messaging system."
Me: "Ahh, voicemailed again."
In unison: "At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording you may hang up or press 1 for more options. To leave a callback number, press 5. Beep."

Voicemail voice

A more serious, professional tone of voice typically reserved for voicemail greetings. It's often misused in casual, less business-oriented settings.

1. The party was great until Dion started talking to all the girls in his voicemail voice. He always thinks he's so distinguished.

2. When Rachelle start speaking in her voicemail voice I realized she was actually breaking up with me this time.
