Calling in dead

Getting time off of work by using the imagined death or illness of a family member; usually one not liked such as a mother in law.

Essentially calling in dead is thjs: I can't make it in today, my mother-in-law (grandmother, grandfather, father-in-law, sister-in-law, etc...,) has just died. I'll need a few days.
