Greetings
This page has a good definition:
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/call bluff
to demand that someone prove a claim or is not being deceptive.
E.g. All right, I'll call your bluff. Show me you can do it!
E.g. Tom said, "You've made me really angry, and I'll punch you if you come any closer!" "Go ahead," said Bill, calling his bluff.
In the second example, one assumes that Bill deliberately went closer to Tom. He may well have been intending to find out whether or not Tom meant what he was saying.
Best wishes, and many thanks,
Simon

وقتی مطمئن هستیم تهدید کسی جدی نیست.
Something went wrong...
