Nếu bạn 'call time on' điều gì, có nghĩa là bạn chấm dứt, kết thúc điều đó.

Ví dụ

If the Apple Watch nudges consumers toward mobile-payment options, that may just call time on widespread credit-card fraud (gian lận thẻ tín dụng).

But the real villains in the process are back-scratching (giúp đỡ nhau) chairmen and non-executives who refuse to call time on a profligacy (sự hoang toàng, trác táng) that robs us all.
