A phone call lasting about 10 seconds on usual and characterized by brief content, consisting of
3 essential parts:
1. Question
2. Answer
3. Hangup
A greeting and a farewell may or may not be included, depending on the situation as well as the callee.
The most important feature of a function call is the absolute lack of smalltalk. Omitting the usual "so what's up" part makes the conversation brief, effective and usually both less time- and
cash-consuming compared to
texting.
On the other hand, this fact may
render function calling incompatible with most women due to their natural chitchat and
gossip requirements.
The
name is derived from the programming jargon due to the similarities to calling a function in a programming language, which usually includes specifying parameters and obtaining some kind of return value, close to immediately.
