While nobody really knows how this came about, it's commonly used when describing the action of calling up the dominion and ordering some pete-zor.

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?"

2. to swat-call (verb)
When you’re on sick leave of any kind in any profession, and the company has an occupational physician try to get the jump on you by either an unannounced phone call or house call.

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