A phone - typically prepaid - that's used temporarily and then disposed of, a.k.a "burned". Usually a cheap flip phone, and has had a resurgence in pop culture relevance because of tv shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad. Either bought for cheap at a convenience store, or got online since there's now literally an app called Burner.
-"I gotta make a call but I don't want it logged on my number."
-"Alright just go get a burner phone and use that instead then."
