Natel is shorter, and Italians don't know what it is, so most people here use Natel.

Here it's Natel or telefonino.
Not had a fixed line for 20 years, I have to stay at home waiting for someone to call , can't imagine that catching on in the 21st century
well I guess Handy sounds a bit uhmm.. you know.. like handjob.. lol
Here's how the term " Handy " came into the German language:
In the early 1990s, when mobile phones hit the market in increasing numbers, a Swabian farmer visiting Stuttgart saw a shelf full of them at a shopping mall.
It was the first time he saw phones without cords, so he asked one of the salespersons, " Jo, hänn die denn koi Schnur? " ("Don't they have a cord, then?"). The clerk spread the word, and somehow the " hänn die " stuck and became a part of urban slang.
Ok, at least I tried...
Statistically 60% of people use their handy to cheat on their partners.
Personally I prefer to use my penis.
Someone once asked me if I talked to my wife, when I was making love?
- "Only if she calls" , was my reply.
Reminds me of:
What's the wifes asshole doing while she's making love?
He's working.
Surely Natel is the king of clay.
I think that should read, "Statistically, 96% of people use their hands to cheat on their partners."
"Do you tell your husband when you have an orgasm?"
- "No, he doesn't want me not to call him at work."
Nope. Both iPhone lovers and haters will remain keen to emphasise their choices.
This is the definitive word on "Handy"
AS IF they don't understand! Geez!
