Tenterhooks are hooks in a device called a tenter, used in the process of making woollen cloth. Being "on tenterhooks" means being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, i.e. feeling stretched like the cloth on the tenter.

Call waiting on an LG phone allows you to receive incoming calls while you are already on a call. When you receive a second call, you'll hear a beep, indicating that someone is trying to reach you.
