  • Booty call is like a pun on duty call, replacing the nobler call of duty with the more derogatory booty referring to a (potential) sexual partner.

  • My favourite quote on this is from Mick Herron's novel Real Tigers:

    "His mobile rang, and the old woman looked round in fury. “Sorry,” he mouthed. “Booty call.” He slipped the cigarette between his lips as he left the church, phone trembling in his hand."

    Chapter 7 page 202.
