I assume you know bullshit - nonsense, selfishness, rudeness, etc. Something negative
To call someone out on something means to confront them about something.
I called my friend out on how rude he was being to my new girlfriend. He got mad and defensive at first but then saw how the jokes he was making could upset her and eventually apologized.

@KevinF
Thank you very much, Kev. That example helps.
Can it also be used in the sense of exposing someone's lie. That's kind of the idea I got when I read that sentence. Like, you know someone is lying and you want them to stop, so you “call them out on their ***”
Is that correct?
