It means shut up (literally, close yourself).
With an accent over the first a, it is most likely a speaker of spanish that uses the form of tuteo, or the second person singular address.
In the area of south america where I learned Spanish, the accent in callate would be placed on the second a. This is for the voseo, or the vos conjugation.
For a second person plural, you could say callaos. This is like telling a group of people to shut up. That form of Spanish is archiac, and very few use or even understand it.

Cállate is the form for the present tense, second person of the singular from verb CALLAR, which means 'shut up' or 'stop talking'. It has a tilde (accent) in the first 'a'
The verb is not slang. It is a common verb used by lots of people.
