Nowadays all you see in referring
to Netflix on social media is 'Netflix and chill', but really what is Netflix
and chill? Most people would define this phrase as a invitation to 'get
some' but really can't we literally just Netflix and Chill. When the more
derogatory meaning of the word is used, the kooky kids think it's an excuse to
'watch movies' and have the lights off, when in reality my friends and I, boys
and girls take a more literal use of the phrase and watch Netflix while in fact
chilling. I think me personally there isn't anything wrong with either version,
but it has come to a point in which you cant even use the phrase in the literal
sense because of how big the derogatory version has gotten via social media.
Let's talk about what each of these meanings entail. 'Netflix and chill' the sexual invitation, involves two people going to 'watch' Netflix and 'hang out', but I think the only thing that will being watched or hanging out are...well, I leave your mind to figure out the rest. But in no way does it actually involve either of the associated parties watching Netflix and chilling, at all.
On the other hand, the very literal sense of Netflix and chill are quite enjoyable as well. Netflix can be streaming and doing its thing while you can sit back and relax with friends or whomever and chill. This take on the phrase is less stress, and allows you to watch, even binge on some series or movies you've been dying to see, but sadly haven't had the time. Doesn't that sound nice?
Now that you are fully informed and up to date on the latest social media catch phrases, don't you wish you could 'Netflix and chill', either literally or figuratively? I think although this phrase has gotten slightly out of hand with videos and snap chats no one ever wanted to see, it is amusing and still literally entertaining to a majority of the population. As much as I love to put in action this phrase, whichever version you choose is very time consuming. Quite frankly I would rather sleep, or nap, which is basically the same thing but like really I just don't like people, and have no time for their bullshit. So if you were presented the opportunity to 'Netflix and Chill', would you take it, or not?
