(verb) to have completed an action, especially giving a performance, while showing a minimum of effort.
Generally used to refer to performances that border on
unprofessional. The intended audience would have been similarly disappointed if the person had delivered
the performance by speakerphone, in order to spend more time on
leisurely pursuits.

A device that was originally created for contacting someone over long distances without much effort.
Today, there are many variations of the phone but most of them do every
stupid thing that you don't need it to do. Because of this, the
corporations jack the price up to
inhumane levels.
It's still possible to get a normal phone which does what it was originally intended to do but if you have one your friends will make fun of you.
Example:
I got this new phone and could not figure out how to
make a call on it. I could, however, summon a
giant robot and arm a
nuke fairly easily.
