I'm living in Germany, but sorry. I
have never heard that word. We call it
Handy ! Comment by: sun Rated:1/5

pelefon was the first big cellular
company in Israel and has turned during
the first years into the word for
cellphone (and it's still used by many,
though less) Comment by: ng400
No one in Germany is using that term. We
call it "Handy" or "Mobile". Sometimes,
it's "Funke" or "Ackerschnacker" (slang
words for walkie-talkie)... Comment by: baba

Originally, 'Penner' does refer to a
homeless person. It is derived from the
verb 'pennen' which is a slang
expression for 'to sleep', probably
because they're sleeping on the street.
As a slang term, 'penner' usually means
'idiot' or 'moron', it's being used
quite frequently among young people. Comment by: A
