When someone does something or says something only because someone else reminded them or forced them to. This is usually in the context to "make things right/better", when they haven't thought of it themselves. Like when siblings tell each other to "Call Mum" cause it will make her happy but they don't always think to do it.
Eg. 1 Call Mum
He - "I miss you"
She - "Oh I miss you too"
He - "Did you just call mummed me?"
Eg.2 Call mum
Dan: "It's Jake's birthday today"
Rob: "Happy Bday Jake!"
Jake: " Thanks. Did you actually remember or were you called mommed?"
He - "I miss you"
She - "Oh I miss you too"
He - "Did you just call mummed me?"
Eg.2 Call mum
Dan: "It's Jake's birthday today"
Rob: "Happy Bday Jake!"
Jake: " Thanks. Did you actually remember or were you called mommed?"

If this comes out of the mouth of someone, you're fucked (and you're even more fucked if the person who said it is a teacher).
Teacher: I'm calling your parents, Joe!
(Joe was afraid since his teacher called his parents because he was just chewing on gum)

While on sick leave I visited a theme park and got a swat call from a fowler mid-rollercoaster. I was caught red handed!
