look up any word, like bootylicious:
1. coward call
Waiting until one knows that another person will be unavailable to make a call to them, ensuring no direct communication between the two parties - often to deliver uncomfortable, difficult to express, or bad news or to say something or things that one really does not want to have a conversation about.

Variant of stealth call
Desi's boss always delivers updated schedule requests via coward call, waiting until he knows he has left the office and leaving a voice mail on his office line rather than calling his cell phone.
