I always read symbiote spider man in this movie as Parker with the confidence to act how he thought would be cool. And he thought it would be cool to answer the phone in an unexpected way.
That’s exactly what it was. He wasn’t supposed to be cool, he was doing what he thought was cool. I don’t understand how people watch the part of him walking down the street finger gunning everyone and miss that.
This wasn’t just a quirk of Burns, but a joke about his age:
Alexander Graham Bell initially suggested that the standard greeting when answering a telephone should be “ahoy”, but instead “hello” (suggested by Thomas Edison) was adopted.
I understand this was/is a joke. That being said, Topsy may have a slightly differing opinion on that.
Edit: I made friends with the RBB&BC elephants before they were retired. I only interacted with them 4 times for less than a week at a time before they were retired. When I visit them in Florida, they know who I am and act like giant puppies whenever they smell me near. I have a particular love for elephants and orca.

It’s like his inner id running loose
Is the symbiote the horse or the rider?
Jinba ittai.
Nice reference
Ahoy hoy.
C Montgomery Burns?‽

Perhaps Thomas Edison’s greatest crime.

I still think we should switch over to Italian answering:
“Pronto!” == ‘ready’
I’m just going to go with shalom. If Spider-Man says it’s cool, who am I to argue
