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 anxiety

Refers to a fear of listening to voicemail(s) for any reason, esp. for fear of what the message may say or require of the listener.

Even the notification of a message can trigger my voicemail anxiety.

Voicemail texting

When you're texting someone and you both take a long time to answer and you end up leaving messages back and forth instead of engaging in steady conversation

I tried to have a conversation with the bf, but we both were so busy we ended up voicemail texting

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.
