Netflix and chill
Couch-based courtship code
Netflix and chill is a euphemism for casual sex, framed as an invitation to watch streaming video that both parties understand means something else: He asked if I wanted to Netflix and chill.
The phrase emerged in the 2010s as streaming replaced other pretexts for getting someone alone.
Sometimes used literally, but the sexual subtext now dominates.
