** In Japan, "[[http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/14111/Decoden.html decoden]]" ("decorated cellphone") mostly means adding a thick layer of Swarowski crystals and/or [[http://pingmag.jp/2008/09/18/decoden/ random crud]] like fake roses or tiny plastic desserts to your cellphone.
** Nokia's sister company, Vertu, makes cellphones of this sort.

Thankfully for those who take a moment to think about it, that advertising is a case of [[YouFailBiologyForever Biology Fail]], and gems are glued on to the region of skin over the pubic bone. Otherwise, OW. [[http://www.theluxuryspot.com/2010/02/23/i-got-vajazzled-and-had-a-camera-crew/ (Link may be NSFW) ]].
