From what I remember the green was the tip(transmit) and the red was the ring(receive) the yellow and black are more recent addition and they were used with phones that had a lighted dial. Many installers would not connect them on the older phones and the older houses only had a two wire cable going from the street to the house.

Tip is the ground and ring is the -48. Its a talk path, there is no transmit and receive. It supplies 48vdc that the AC created by your voice into the transmitter rides on.

The lighted dial came way later. A transformer was added, normally in the basement and the yellow black were tied to that. Party lines were phasing out at that time. A lot of original inside wire was two wires under seperate sheaths and it was atatched to your baseboard with what looked like thumbtacks. That was changed to a 3 conductor with red green yellow, then RGYB, then twisted pair to carry multiple lines inside the house without crosstalk. All drops have 2 wires per line. Its only been the last 20 years that multiple pairs under one sheath were in a drop as a matter of course. Still, only 2 conductors from office to set.

This year I can't blame the holidays, because I was fat in August.

A husband gives his wife a bracelet and tells her "it belonged to his grandmother" .

The wife looks at it strangely and says " but her initials were not DNR"?

It means, in the words of Lauren Bacall, you know "how to put your lips together and blow".
