Over here in the States we have always called our portable phones : Cellular phones.    Or Cell phones for short.    I noticed in the UK all y'all call them "Mobiles".

Which does make sense.

Last week I saw a TV commercial for some kind of Cellular service and they said "Mobile".   Hmm,  maybe that term is working its way over here?

PS:   Yes, I am a Yankee and don't usually use the "all y'all" term.   LOL

But for those not familiar with this southern US expression,  Y'all is singular and all y'all is plural.

Kelda:
ah ha! I've always been confused by the line in the Buffy musical episode:

Xander: Respect the cruller, and tame the doughnut!
Anya: That's still funny, sweetie.

Now I know a cruller is a doughnut!!
