Netflix and chill -AIBU to think someone should have told me!

[TheoriginalLEM]

I've been using this phrase to my dd!!

using it to clients to describe what i might do on my day off

No one thought to take me aside??

You should worry, OP.

A colleague of mine announced to a class of teenagers that she was going to watch Netflix and chill with her dog

I didn't know it either. But haven't used it, thankfully

I only have freeview.

Freeview and chill sounds like you get your kicks through voyuerism.

@ glory hole.

Sadmother, I have literally only ever heard the phrase in the context of threads (on various sites) full of people saying that they didn't know what it means. I spend way too much time on the internet and watching TV, so it really can't be everywhere.

Is chillax a euphemism now?

I didn't know either

Maybe your clients are impressed by your sexually wild and fun lifestyle and admire your honestly

I had to Google it when it was proposed by a 22 year old on POF. I'm 53 and politely declined.

Your not alone, I was using it a lot, until I said it in front of my 17 year old and her friend, and she went bright red, while her friend started laughing 😬 My daughter begged me never to say that sentence again lol

Nope. Didn't know. (and I have ponies. Which I feed...... Should I refrain from announcing that?)

I used it for a FULL academic sodding year to all my second year Uni students. Most of whom are medical students.

I used the phrase when suggesting stress relief from exam revision and when they had any deadline overloads. (FML)

NOT ONE of the little bastards ever told me what it really meant and years later I am still cringing.

I did wonder why they all looked so confused when I asked them if they enjoyed their 'Netflick and Chill' sessions with their families every time they came from holiday.

(OMFG!)

Saw this today and thought of you OP :)

I'm still laughing at half of the posts on here!

Slightly worried at the amount of people who didn't know what it meant... And I thought I was one of those people never in the loop ha ha ha!

I didn't know until today, either. So I casually dropped it into conversation at breakfast with my DD (20) and I could feel the look of shocked horror on her face as she painfully asked "do you know what that actually means"

OH was almost pissing himself laughing!

MN told me a couple of weeks back. Neither me or DH knew.

I still forget out to say Kanye despite asking other people at least once a month or so.

so "chill" now means "casual sex".
wonderful :-/

Thanks for the headsup.

What is "feeding the pony"?

Ah, ok. Urban Dictionary has informed me. Riigggght

Apparently, 'peel the prawn' is something too. I think UD makes this shit up.

I never knew this either. Oh well. Can't say it makes me feel ashamed or embarrassed not to have known something I have never needed to know about.

Clearly I spend too much time talking to teenagers as I knew this ages ago. And watch out if you tell someone that you're 'thirsty' as that means horny now.

This is news to me too. Luckily I don't have Netflix. I am surprised that I haven't heard it more as I teach teens.

If it makes you feel any better I said to my ds who's 17 one night do you fancy a Netflix and chill.... His reply was steady your my mum!! I don't know what it actually means but by his horrified reply in guessing you don't Netflix and chill with your mum!!

Wasnt it one of their advertising slogans? I thought people were embracing it rather, er... readily. I had no idea.

DH on the other hand had never even heard of the expression in the first place, bless.
