The telephone - what is it?

A plural code name for African Americans. Used in place of the word nigers. Telephones are often very loud, and always seem to be "ringing" or to be overly enthusiastic. This term is most often used so when saying it, African Americans will not know what you are talking about.

Nick: "Yo check out those niggers over there making all that noise."
Joanna: " You meen check out thoses telephones ringing over there."
Sean: " I love telephones!"
