What does that mean?

English isn't my first language so I don't really understand this comment.

I was in a coffeeshop and this guy and his brother started hitting on me. I I turned his brother down and they walked out as they were about to leave, the other guy came back and said "He said he would have passed you a hard check. He said that. Not me!"

What did he mean?

Means nothing to me. It’s not an English saying.

Perhaps you misheard.

ArbitraryHaddock · 20/05/2023 22:50

Never heard of this but could he have said you would pass a hard check, like when you can do a soft credit check to see if you’d get approval for a credit card or insurance or something?

SmileyClare · 20/05/2023 22:57

Yeah maybe he works for a credit company and struggles to switch off. 🤣

It all sounds like a non event. Some men can’t handle any sort of rejection and have to come back with a smart remark to recover their ego.

Their opinion of you doesn’t matter.

British and never heard this saying

No idea, never heard it before and Google is throwing up nonsense.

Maybe he thought it sounded good shrug

Sounds like an in house joke between them if he works in real estate.

eg- “did you see that customer this morning? Phwoar Id definitely bend the rules on credit checks for her”

This roughly translates as “Im a total knob”

it's a saying, i've heard it. it means he'd pass on you/reject you.
example. i hate fish....if someone invited me for dinner and were serving fish...it would be a hard pass.

Real estate? He means he works for an estate agent, so definitely a wanker!

SmileyClare · 20/05/2023 23:59

Giving something “a hard pass” is a well known phrase but if he meant that he totally ballsed up the delivery 😬

CadburyDream · 21/05/2023 00:24

He said hard check not hard pass?

alexdgr8 · 21/05/2023 02:09

are you in america.
you seem to use american terms, eg, hitting on, real estate.
no idea as to the question, it doesn't sound british. am uk.
