Me: I’ll be doing this “Netflix and chill” thing in a couple hours.

Person: Awesome! Enjoy getting laid!

Me: Does ‘Netflix and chill’ always end in sex?

Person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_and_chill

Me: Wow, OK, yes. She probably thinks I asked to have sex with her.

Me: I literally discussed us watching a movie together.

Me: Whoops.

Person: Oh my god you are precious.

Me: I mean, I’m not opposed to having sex with her, but this is slightly unexpected.

Me: Fucking Americans with your slang >.<

I am glad that I’m not the only one who didn’t expect that one to be a euphemism for sex. I did get the implications over time but I used to think it would’ve actually meant just that for far longer than I’ve been aware of the subtext.

And now I’m like “watching stuff together even without having sex is a completely legitimate activity and why can’t humanity have one expression for it that would actually mean it instead of being a transparent attempt to avoid saying the s-word like a silly prude.”
