pick up lines
Cheesy romantic openers
Pick up lines are rehearsed remarks intended to start a conversation with someone you find attractive, typically a stranger.
They range from clever wordplay to cheesy one-liners to outright crude propositions.
The phrase carries a slightly cynical edge—using a pick up line acknowledges you're running a script rather than speaking spontaneously.
His pick up line was so bad she had to laugh.
Whether they work depends more on delivery and context than the line itself.
