Introduction
ConLangery is a podcast about constructed languages and the people who create them. This episode we're talking about idiot phones, according to Mark Digamansa. He says they are marked words that depict sensory imagery. So an idiot phone sounds different from other words for some reason. And they tend not to slot into the rest of the grammar of the language very well.
