John, what's an apple?
It's a fruit Mrs Hudson. Round and red? You bought some for us this week?
I know what an apple is John! I meant an apple for your phone.
Apple is a phone company…?
I know that, I'm not stupid!
Sorry.
My phone keeps telling me to go to the apple store to get apples for my phone.
Could you explain more please?
It wants me to get an apple for writing notes on. Wouldn't it be easier to write notes with pen and paper? An apple would be hard…
App, Mrs Hudson. App. Not apple.
Oh. What's that?
It's…it's a…thing…on your phone…it's too hard to explain. Can't you look it up in the dictionary?
I did, but it's not in the dictionary.
And how old is that dictionary?
Old.
It's short for application, it's all the things on your phone…oh, I can't explain it! Ask Sherlock!
Alright then, no need to shout.

Sherlock?
Hello Mrs Hudson, how may I help you? – SH
You're in a good mood today! Was that sarcasm?
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, Mrs Hudson. - SH
John said I should ask you to explain what an app is.
Was he busy? – SH
No, he didn't know how to explain it.
This time of day on a Saturday, if he's not in the flat he's likely out with Sarah; so he didn't want to talk to you because he wanted to concentrate on her rather than his landlady's technological problems. – SH
Oh. Okay then.
What's an app? You didn't answer.
It's a thing on your phone. – SH
…I give up.
