minus-squaremosiacmango@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt’s a double entendre. It means both, but much more the “hook up” subtext.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoFrom what I can find online, it originally meant what I thought it did, but quickly morphed into mainly being a hookup afterward.
minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months 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-squareByteOnBikes@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months 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-up0·2 months 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-up0·2 months 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.
