call an audible

To decide what to do at the last second after seeing all possible options and obstacles that come up.
Comes from football, seen when the quarterback goes up to the line of scrimmage, sees a defensive alignment he wasn't expecting, and adjusts by yelling out a new play.
I'm thinking of going jogging but if it rains I'll have to call an audible and go to the gym instead.

Sub Audible 

The sounds of nothing. The white noise of our environments. You don't hear it except when you do, when you're aware. But then it all fades into the background the moment you're distracted
"Do you hear that?"
"No...?"
"That tapping noise."
"Ohhh, I hear it now that you've pointed it out."
"That's called sub audible"

goin' audible 

When you get so hammered that your body shuts down your sense of sight and only uses sound.

**Slogan** "To close for sight, switching to sound"
Andrew: "Ah shit look at Drew and Charlie...are they working that 250 pounder?"

Graham: "Yep, they've Gone Audible"

or

Mitch: "I'm goin' audible tonight"

called an audible 

1. Accidentally passing gas out loud in front of people.
2. When a dog passes gas out loud.
My dog Elwood was having a dream, and all of the sudden, he called an audible. Boy it stunk.
Or...
I was at a party the other night, and I called an audible right in front of a bunch of hot chicks. How embarrassing.
