Examples
“A call-by is what I call the telephone equivalent of a drive-by, when you’re crushing on someone so you figure out a way to drive by their house to see if they’re home, if the lights are on, if, oh my goodness you’re hanging out on the porch and I just “happened” to be driving by, why don’t we go out for coffee or something?”
“Call-by’s, by the way, are not advisable if the person on the receiving end has Caller ID, which I knew for a fact that the recipient of my call-by did not have, or if that person is a chronic *69er which is an interesting numeric choice on the part of the phone company, in my opinion.”
