**** Usage notes
- In older forms of English, when the pronoun _thou_ was in active use, and verbs used _-est_ for distinct second-person singular indicative forms, the verb _call_ had the form _callest_ , and had _calledst_ for its past tense.
- Similarly, when the ending _-eth_ was in active use for third-person singular present indicative forms, the form _calleth_ was used.
- The sense of naming an object, as with the phrase _it’s called a(n)_ , is intended to humiliate a listener when the object is known to be familiar:
