English

  1. to hold a line by not place the phone back into its housing; this would prevent incoming calls because the line is accidentally held up

粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 講完電話冇收到線,或者因為冇擺返正搞到冇收到線;以前啲電話個話筒係要扱落個電話座到先至可以中斷通話。如果將個電話筒晾起,其他人就會因為上一手冇收到線,而打唔到入嚟

Examples

  • 傾完電話冇放返正,唔覺意晾咗線。

    I forgot to put the phone back, and held the line by accident.
