call

Final decision based on value judgement, "the last word". Please note that this is rarely used without a possessive pronoun preceding it.

"It's not my call." - It's not up to me to decide.

"In the end, the call is his alone." - It's up to him to decide.

Call it

To predict something before it happens, and subsequently state once the predicition actually occurs. Usually trivial like a plotline to a film, or a sports result.

Dude 1: Alright I'm gonna call it now: Darren's gone and gotten himself a shitty haircut.
Dude 2: OK then.
Darren: Hey guys, like my new haircut?
Dude 1: Fucking called it!
