"Calling in Black" was a Freudian slip by a white male medical office worker, summarizing a phone call from
La'Shondra, who was calling in from Compton with a litany of symptoms (nausea, diarrhea. dizziness...) none of which has any visible signs. He hung up the phone, and announced to the mostly black staff, "LaShondra just called in Black" "Sick, Sick" He said immediately. "She called in Sick" Too late to un-ring the bell, he was spared a trip to HR, because the staff loved the phrase, and co-opted it into the office lexicon, and spread to other offices.

Get the calling in black mug.Follicly challenged is merely the etymologically correct spelling of follically challenged, which is a euphemistic term for bald men. The use of the word serves to lampoon the perceived overabundance of "politically correct" synonyms for various minority groups, which first emerged and spread in the mid to late '90s.
My father is severely follicly challenged, but he's learned to cope without resorting to a toupee or a combover.

Get the callin' Earl mug.When you are relaxing to the point that no person or reason can possibly compel you to relocate or do anything. Not to the point of a coma-like chill state, but more a presence of mind defying anyone to stop this chill session.
