The mechanic
Cho'Gath's ultimate devours a target and gives him a permanent stack of bonus health, but only six stacks can come from minions and small monsters. Past that, every stack has to come from a champion or an epic monster, so his team has to leave him the last hit on drake, herald and baron.
Why it needs saying
The last hit on an objective goes to the jungler by convention. Cho'Gath asks to break that convention, and nobody will do it without knowing why.

Let me eat the drake for a stack.
the context
"eat" is the verb everyone uses for Cho'Gath's ultimate. Past six stacks taken from minions, only champions and epic monsters still give one. An eaten drake is 80 to 160 permanent health, and a jungler who smites it instead wipes that out.

in full english
I'm at six stacks, I need champion kills now.
the context
The announcement of the threshold: from here on, minions give nothing. The team knows that a last hit left to Cho'Gath on a champion is worth more than a kill for anyone else.

Cho'Gath, eat baron, we'll cover.
the context
The call of a teammate who understands the mechanic. Cho'Gath's ultimate deals 1200 true damage plus his bonus health to monsters, which makes it a second smite: the jungler can keep theirs to secure, and Cho'Gath gets his stack.
