To call it a day

To stop working.



to call it a day
To quit work and go home; to say that a day's work has been completed.
Example:
After playing together for 20 years the band have finally decided to call it a day. It's almost midnight - I think it's time to call it a day.


Calling it a day
A day that resists definition, that ends only when you hand the phone over to the person beside you. It's late and you realize you're hungry. Then suddenly you know there was one more thing to say but you've already handed it over. For a moment you realize that unless you press it firmly closed your thoughts will flap in the warm wind. Until then, the person on the other end will follow you in the wrong direction. What you said will never be what you meant, an imperfect urban plan. Some day in the past, the entire conversation would have taken place in letters. You would have pressed firmly closed what you never said. The person beside you hangs up.
Example:
You're always so busy I don't want to interrupt you. I took it as encouragement that you even wanted to talk. This is calling it a day.


Is that what they're calling it these days
1) An expression of surprise at slanguage one hasn't heard before, especially when it's obviously sexual or scatological in nature.

2) A tongue in cheek way of turning an ordinary comment into a double entendre by implying the above.
Example:
Dude, I'm heading home. I'm gonna go online and play some World of Warcraft.

Oh really? Is that what they're calling it these days?
