In MOBA games, shotcalling is when one calls out everything that's happening on the minimap, their teammates, and especially enemy activity. It is usually the teammate playing the tank role that does a shotcall.

Shotcalls are important, since they let the entire team know about the opponent, what their plans are, while also notifying the team's status; therefore each member of the team is notified of everything that is happening that they might have missed. This also helps the team make right decisions on what to do next.
Tank: "Their jungler is on the buff, one of our sidelaners is retreating and our jungler is not yet prepared for the teamfight."
Mage: "Fighter, what are you doing??!! We are not yet ready for the teamfight!"
Fighter: "I can do this, all of you are nearby"
(*Fighter initiates teamfight; Mage and Tank have no choice but to join in as well)
(*The team loses teamfight due to unpreparedness and ignorance)
Jungler: "Why did all of you die?!!"

Mage: "Because our arrogant Fighter here did not listen to Tank's shotcall."

Prison Shutcall

1. Prison Boss

2. Someone who undermines traditional and official authority within a penitentiary. This includes the control and pay off of all, or at least a large number of the guards. The Warden may also be controlled by the Shutcall

The Shutcall has lots of political power within the facility he/she is incarcerated in. This is usually because they run the ruling gang, or control the drug trade within the prison.

A Shutcall's most defining feature is their ability of engineering elaborate crimes. These crimes can reach outside of the penitentiary they originated in, and are almost always untraceable to the Shutcall him/herself.

Fellow inmates are loyal to the Prison Shutcall, and often cover and draw attention from him/her.
Guard A: The prisoner rumored to be running that small drug ring was found dead this morning.
Guard B: Really? I was off duty, how he die?
Guard A: Face down in the toilet, impaled by a broom. The autopsy showed he was half drown before he died.
Guard B: Was it the Shutcall who ordered the hit?
Guard A: Don't know, apparently the warden called him in for questioning but I doubt they have enough proof.
Guard B: Like every time.
Guard A: The Warden can't even get that Stool Pigeon Biggs to finger Who the Prison Shutcall is.

Prisoner A: Did you hear what Shutcall did?
Prisoner B: No what?
Prisoner A: He found out his old lady was cheating on him on the outside.
Prisoner B: What did he do?
Prisoner A: He had his Yakuza connections find the guy she was cheating with, cut his pinky off then delivered to her.
Prisoner B: Shows how far his influence goes.
