What does "booty call" mean in dating slang?
The term "booty call" refers to a late-night request or message to meet someone mainly for casual sex, without romantic intent or commitment. The structure combines "booty," slang for sexual activity, with "call," implying contacting someone specifically for that purpose. It became widely used in the 1990s and early 2000s in pop culture and music, and is typically associated with informal, no-strings-attached encounters.
