Carl N I call shenanigans, unless...
"I call?" I've heard of shenanigans, but this expression makes absolutely no sense to me. I've certainly never heard anybody say it. Is it like, say, calling shotgun? So, I get the first chance to do silly things?? WHAT???

A whole episode of South Park based on this line. They "call shenanigans" on a carnival game (itself a likely tribute to a similar episode of the Andy Griffith Show). No sure if AGS used the term though.
