noun

• a last-minute or previously unplanned request to meet up with someone with the intention of having sex (i.e. getting booty.)
  
  Some common characteristics of a booty call: the caller is intoxicated, the call occurs at night (often after bars have stopped serving alcohol,) the callee is an acquaintance or an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, and the sex involves no or little emotion.
  
  The "call" in "booty call" implies a telephone call, but other methods of requesting a get-together (e.g. phone text messaging) are also valid.
  
  Abbreviated, though rarely, BC.

  James is Tanya's booty call.
