Thanks to the iPhone 7 coming without the industry-standard 3.5mm headphone jack, the catchphrase "hand me the aux cord" might not be relevant anymore for Apple users.
The aux cord, or auxillary cord, is typically a 3.5mm audio cable that connects the phone to the stereo system in a car, so you can share your tunes with fellow passengers.
