"Operator" must be inscrutable for some younger listeners.... do modern mobile phones even have operators? Do landlines even have them anymore? Pay phones are largely a thing of the past too, so no dime to keep (inflation had already driven that up to a quarter by the time I was a kid), but i'm guessing they're well known from old films and TV.
