Interesting.

So that's what 'Netflix and Chill' means. I thought it actually meant ...chill out in front of the tv.

xoxoxoBruce 10-17-2015 01:05 PM

It doesn't?? :eek:

DanaC 10-17-2015 01:12 PM

Apparently it's millenial speak for 'wanna come over and get funky on the sofa?'

xoxoxoBruce 10-17-2015 02:27 PM

Damn whippersnappers, ruining the king's English, they are, no respect for tradition that's been good enough for weeks :crone:

It's just the modern version of "going to the drive-in." Yeah, you're watching the movie, but everyone knows you really wanna just make out.

DanaC 10-17-2015 05:53 PM

Apparently there are now Netflix and Chill condoms.

Not today, but, yesterday, I learned that the actress Lillian Gish lived to 100, never married, had no children, and left her entire estate, worth several million bucks, to actress Helen Hayes, who died 18 days later.

Lillian Gish is Scots slang for having a pee as in" I'm just away for a Lillian Gish "(pish)

:D

be-bop, that whole rhyming slang thing is lost on me. Things that rhyme often have completely different meanings, so how in hell do you guys figure out what the other is saying, until the term becomes common usage? :confused:

be-bop 10-26-2015 04:30 AM

Some of the rhyming slang is topical and some lost in the mists of time :D
Here's some other well used phrases
I haven't gat a Scooby, shortened from I haven't got a Scooby Do, meaning clue.
I'm Hank Marvin. (Shadows guitar player) meaning I'm starving.
You're having a Giraffe mate. meaning you're having a laugh..
The problem understanding is when the phrases get shortened, if you didn't know the original phrase it can be baffling

We septic tanks just don't have a clue.
