booty call

[Fred Shapiro]

Here's some more info on "booty call":  An article in the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, 22 Apr. 1994, profiled Bill Bellamy of MTV.  The article
noted that one of Bellamy's most popular routines was "the Booty Call, in
which he calls a woman looking for a date.  A singer has written a
song about this routine, and the slogan 'Booty Call' now appears on
T-shirts."
