-“lol what are you talking about dawg?”

What does "swing" mean? "tango"? Isn't there a name for these "foot games"?
Also, when you call somebody on the phone and they don't answer. And they call you back and you don't answer. Then you call them back and they don't answer, etc, What's that phone "game" called?

I don't swing that way -- that's not my sexual orientation (gay, in this case)

doing some tango -- playing footsie (tango is often a euphemism for sex, as in "It takes two to tango.")

Um, I don't know if I've heard of that exact game, but making annoying hang-up calls is generally called "prank calling" -- a prank being a practical joke.

Being impolite.

And we now have caller ID....

Yes, I'm sure there is a name for that. It's called "tick tak" or something. And it's not about being impolite, both parties unintentionally keep on missing phone calls.

Uriel,
"both parties unintentionally keep on missing phone calls."
I think I found what I was looking for.
"we played phone-tag"

Isn't that what it's called?

Yes. If you keep missing each other's calls, it's called "playing phone tag" -- said in jest, of course...with a slight touch of sarcasm. ;-)
