"Lets call it a night." Where does that originates from, what does it mean?

Asked by rebbel (35550points) March 19th, 2011

While watching an episode from The Wire some days ago, i heard McNulty say to Bunk: Lets call it a night.
It was in the middle of the night when he said it, so they couldn’t call it anything else, right?
What does it mean really?
And where does that sentence originates from?
