In the 1870s, Scottish-born inventor Alexander Graham Bell did much development for the newly invented telephone. Bell's preferred salutation, ahoy-hoy was derived from the nautical term ahoy.

The use of the archaic "ahoy-hoy", instead of the standard "hello", is a running joke referring to Mr. Burns's very advanced age.
