Subject: Re: To drop a dime on someone



I've heard (and used) both 'nickle' and 'dime' to refer to who's paying for

the phone call. Might even use 'quarter' in some circumstances, depending

on audience. I have no contribution on the original query about dropping a

dime, but suspect Jesse and Randy are on a better track than speculating

about the price of phone calls.
