Native speaker’s answer

"Call dibs" is a slang term that indicates to claim that something is yours. "Dibs" here stands for money. Ex: I call dibs! The last piece of cake is mine. This term can also be used on a person. However, this is actually very inappropriate to say, so I don't recommend you to use this term on person.
