Hello, I've been watching a new TV series called Touch which is great by the way but it's not why I am here. One of the actors says that he lost his phone at Heathrow Airport and since then people have been phone-skipping it all over the world. What does it exactly mean? That they've been taking it form one place (airport) to another? I've searched the phrase and it means that your phone is unable to dial numbers and answer calls but I don't know which translation fits better.
And there's a second problem (and third actually ) what does[strike]t[/strike] a phone dispatcher (code 25) mean in police codes? "Phone dispatcher" doesn't mean a lot to me. Does it mean that someone "dispatched" or planted a bomb and called to inform the authorities/facility? I'm really confused...
And the last one so far, do song stylings mean song-writters? I've also searched the Net but I'm not actually sure if I get it right...
I know I ask many questions etc. but I'm really interested in British and American culture and I'm kinda jealous that you learn the language ever since your birth... and for me it's difficult to understand sometimes.
Thanks in advance and sorry for another long post
(Checked the grammar but I'm sure I left some mistakes so sorry about that too
