'it's insensitive' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'call us out for nothing' is the wordplay.
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'for nothing' becomes 'o' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'call'+'us'='callus'
'callus' going around 'o' is 'CALLOUS'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for callous that I've seen before include "Hard and unfeeling" , "Insensitive, cruel" , "Not feeling" , "Emotionally hardened" , "Cruel or unsympathetic" .)
