I believe the answer is:

stopped in

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'called on' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'didn't leave home' is the wordplay.
'didn't leave' becomes 'stopped' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'stopped'+'in'='STOPPED IN'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
