minus-squareByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoMy daughter, still in elementary school a few years ago, asked if we can Netflix and Chill after a long day. I had trouble explaining to her what it meant.
minus-squaregrrgyle@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoI think it can mean a both - that’s the great thing about a noncommittal word like chill. I think the key part is that whatever happens is casual. But yeah would probably get a lot of hookup attention on a dating website
minus-squareDanquebec@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoI don’t know, I don’t think of sex as chilling. Just like I don’t see sport as chilling. Chilling should be more calm and less purpose-driven.

minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up25·4 days agoIt’s like the older “come inside for coffee” thing. It could be just that but much more common to use it as pretense for initiating some coitus.
minus-squareTriflingToad@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 days agoI thought that’s what it meant, too. I’m young.
