Phrase | to call off |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to call off" means to tell someone that his or her services are no longer needed, or to cancel or stop doing something: "Officials called off the game due to the heavy rain." Or, "Why did they decide to call off the wedding?" The phrase "to call the shots" means to be able to make decisions because one has authority or power: "Personally, I think it's a bad idea, but the boss likes it and he's the one who calls the shots." Finally, the phrase "to call it a day" is used to announce that one will stop doing something, usually before it is finished, because one is tired or has been doing it for too long: "We've been working on this for hours. Let's call it a day and continue next week." |
