How it's used
This term is highly vulgar and derogatory, carrying a strong sense of moral judgment and social stigma. It is strictly limited to informal, often crude, male-to-male conversation and should be avoided in any professional or polite social setting. Using it in the presence of women or in public spaces is considered offensive and disrespectful.
Examples
He always goes to that sauna to hire a prostitute.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of calling a chicken, which would be 叫隻雞. The context of the verb 叫 combined with 雞 in this specific order is almost exclusively used for this illicit activity.
