butt dialling
Unintentional pocket calls
Butt dialling (also butt dialing) is accidentally calling someone when your phone, usually in a pocket or bag, presses against something that triggers the call.
The caller is unaware while the recipient hears muffled sounds or fragments of conversation: I butt dialled my boss during a job interview.
Pocket dialling means the same thing.
