whatcha-call

Adjective used when introducing someone to a term they are not familiar with. Used to give an explanation a more friendly tone--omitting it can be perceived as implying that the listener is slow or dense for not knowing the term already. Strictly southeastern US.

1. Hey did you see that? They gave that boy a clear lane to the basket!

Yeah, that's a whatcha-call backdoor play.

Oh yeah, I've heard of that.

2. Hey did you see that? They gave that boy a clear lane to the basket!

That's a backdoor play...

Oh yeah, smartass? I guess you think your shit don't stink, huh?

Upgrade Call

A phone call made or received, usually via wireless phone, which becomes heated and dramatic, eventually causing one of the callers to violently throw their handset and causing it irreversible damage making it necessary to replace the device with the latest available model.

I was feeling kinda lonely and decided to give my EX a call and guess who answers? My best friend. I should have known it would turn out to be an Upgrade Call. Oh well, at least my new phone plays mp3s...

governor's call

n. A last hope of salvation from a dreadful end. Originally a last-minute reprieve from an execution but now a generic term.

........

The election Tuesday may ruin America no matter who wins.

Yeah. The only thing that can save us now is a governor's call.

And just who would the "governor" be in this case?

I do not know. God? George Washington? Putin? I am not a Poli-Sci major.

power calling

The annoying act of repeatedly calling a person, even though the person you are calling does not answer. Typically, the caller calls every 5-20 minutes until the person being called answers.

I went out with Rachelle last night. The bitch won't stop power calling me today.

Calle-five

In backyard basketball, a shot from outside the three-point line gives you three points, but a calle-five gives you five points and it's achieved by hitting a shot from behind the backboard.

"Stop being a ball haul Carl!"
"Nah bro, i'm gonna hit that, CALLE-FIVE!!!!!"

Call A Marine

Marines are horny and adaptable individuals who are always ready when needed, like bar fights or getting a plump woman laid

Call a Marine
Instead of 911
They’re built to improvise, adapt and overcome
When you’re in knee deep and you’re up shit’s creek
And you’ve tried everything
Tell you what you do
Call a Marine!
