CALL
Yell to someone
A call is a request or summons, often urgent or formal, but its meanings vary widely across contexts.
In telecommunications, a call is the act of connecting two parties via a phone or network, with early systems relying on switchboards and operators to manually route calls.
In sports, a call is a referee’s decision, often scrutinized for fairness: The umpire made a bad call.
In finance, a call option gives the buyer the right to purchase an asset at a set price before a deadline.
In wildlife observation, a call refers to the vocalization of an animal, often used for identification: The bird’s call was unmistakable.
To call someone out is to challenge or confront them publicly.
