It's a reference to a song ("867-5309 / Jenny") by Tommy Tutone. It's pretty dated by now.

It was fun to read about this in the North American Numbering Plan documentation.
Dated?!

DATED?!

BLASPHEMY!

;-)

It's as old now as the first Jazz concert at Carnegie hall was to it. Fred Astaire's "Nice Work if You Can Get It" was #24 on the charts that year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_in_music
Dated, just like putting noses to smileys!
iOS speech-to-text spells "smiley face" with a nose.

FWIW! :)

I feel older every day.
Better than not getting any older!
