(n.) An after-hours text from one’s boss demanding they return to the office. A professional's Booty Call.

Originated after the French Revolution, when the proletariat was forced to work long hours at the boutique because ownership had been killed by the Guillotine. Today, is often answered by individuals with a crumbling social life or a disturbing obsession with their boss.

Those who respond to a Boutique Call will often matter-of-factly mutter “No emotions, just promotions” before rollerblading all the way back to the office, in decline.
Tom's Boutique Call led to "Quick Fix and Chill" session with his boss, as they watched HR videos and massaged each others' data.
