And don’t just press the red button. Turn on airplane mode so it says connection timeout instead of call ended.
Where are the rest of the tips? Asking for a friend.
My phone’s about to die, but I’ll start typing the rest of the tips for your friend:
- Never, in ANY circumstance
Here’s one, set an alarm to go off in the middle of a date, pretend it’s a phone call and if the date is going badly “take the call” and say you’ve got to leave. I could say my roommate has forgot their keys and accidentally locked themselves out for example.
Don’t hang up. Instead, enable airplane mode for increased verisimilitude.
For those like me…
noun: The quality of appearing to be true or real. synonym: truth.
Context implied it but still…Nice word!
I’m glad you like it! I like how it’s made up of three common and easily-identifiable components: it uses the same root as verify meaning true, the same root as similar meaning “like”, with tude being a common suffix like -ness. Basically “true-likeness”.

Thanks for showing me a new word! “Verisimilitude” seems useful.
I would try this and say “I’m about to die” by accident and then spend five minutes explaining the mistake and five days thinking about it. No thanks,.
