to call it a day
If you call it a day then you stop
whatever it is that you are doing. This idiom is
often used at the end of the working
day, or at the end of meetings.
There are two key ways to use it. You
can either say "Let's call it a day" or "Shall
we call it a day?"
If you are in a position to decide when
the activity should end - maybe you're the
boss - you can say both, but usually
will say "Let's call it a day".
If you are not in the position to make
the decision then it's usually best to *ask*
the others by saying "Shall we
call it a day?"
