When a suspicious or questionable officiating call in a sports game drastically alters the momentum or outcome of a game in a way that prevents any semblance of integrity for the game, but allows the sportsbooks to pocket all the money from the lost bets as a result of the altered outcome. Became a popular phrase after the NFL embraced gambling, following a favorable US Supreme Court ruling in 2018, and then the NFL broke the record for the most one-score games in a season, a couple years later.
Announcer: They called holding on the left tackle to erase the 53 yard gain, but I don’t know Jim, I didn’t see anything there warranting a penalty.
Other Announcer: Yea wild outcome, who could have expected the game would end this way!?
Every impressionable child: Look how cute Taylor and Travis are on the field together after Travis committed several penalties uncalled, and spent the pregame bullying the Ravens kicker and throwing his helmet and equipment across the field. SUCH a sweetheart.
Every other spectator around the world: Vegas called… bye bye money.

A scene from the 2019 movie, "Us", where a smart home speaker is unhelpful when asked to call police.
Person 1: "Ophelia, call the police!"
Ophelia: "Sure, playing Fuck The Police, by N.W.A"
Music: "Fuck the police coming straight from the underground."

When someone, typically a telemarketer, keeps calling and asking the same questions over and over again, thus becoming a pain in your ass. Pronounced like: Colonoscopy.
Hey, Dave. I appreciate that you're trying to cell me a new phone line, but you're really just giving me a call-n-askopy.

An admission that one is going to die soon, usually from a terminal illness or dangerous situation.
A reference to the Christian angel St. Peter, who guards the Gates of Heaven and determines whether one goes to Heaven or Hell. St. Peter calling your name would imply that it is your turn to be judged, which means you must be dead. Thus, admitting that he is “calling your name” makes it seem that a nearing death is inevitable.

Mom,
Thanks for being the greatest mother ever. I would love to tell you in person, but it seems that St. Peter’s calling my name. I wish this could’ve happened differently, but there’s nothing we can do about it now.
Love,
John
