call an audible

To "call an audible" is when you are on a date, or trying to pick someone up at a bar and the other party is not interested in you. The uninterested party will then "call an audible" on you by working in an interjection / rejection into their dialog in order to possibly soften the blow of rejection. This will allow them to state their judgement on you, or their actual position without them outright explaining to you that you need to back off.

Man 2: What?! That is messed up. How'd she do it?

Man 1: We were talking about different beers we liked and she said "Oh yeah my boyfriend and I love Hefeweizen"
