Daily Show

I only just heard this phrase and its definition watching tonight's (well, Monday 25 January 2016 episode interviewing Gad Elmaleh, that is) The Daily Show with Trevor Noah when he was covering some interviews about it about what people would do during the blizzard. Is this coverage worth mentioning on the article? Daily Show is sort of big. Noah is poking fun at the reporters not understanding the slang and only a black guy being interviewed knowing what it meant. So if the phrase reached euphemism status in 2014 it's probably only becoming widespread enough for comedy to cover it just now, a year or two later. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not noteworthy to include every single joke and reference used at its expense. Its joke status is already well-discussed in this article. Also, mainstream news reporters not understanding a concept that had been largely relegated to the internet previously is a fairly common occurrence. Typically memes like this start in a small community on the internet and slowly spread outward from there into pop culture. In this case, it spread through Black Twitter first, which would explain why an African American would be familiar with the innuendo before news reporters. (This is largely covered in the article already)  Adrian^[232] 12:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Condoms 'not just for novelty'?

This line in the impact section seems a bit superfluous; "The condoms were not just for novelty but were approved by the FDA for use to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases." that's what condoms are primarily for after all; be a bit strange if someone produced condoms that were only for novelty that didn't do those things. I'm not sure you could even call such a thing condoms or legally sell them. That'd be a crazy-level prank item there.Number36 (talk) 22:33, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

100% inappropriate description

I don't object to the slang phrase "booty call".

But as an explanation of this article's subject, it is entirely inappropriate to use another slang phrase to explain "Netflix and chill" in Wikipedia.

I hope that someone familiar with the phrase "Netflix and chill" (which I am not) will please find a non-slang way of explaining what "Netflix and chill" means.2600:1700:E1C0:F340:F0B5:5EC:C8C2:9BA3 (talk) 21:50, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that assessment - especially as "booty call" redirects and was piped to "Casual sex" anyway. No point using a distinctly American term when a perfectly good generic article titled term will do instead. Curved Space (talk) 18:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see your point

I'm not restoring the edit from the article, but this topic needs to be brought up in the discussion, because that's the crux of it all, which is the error in thinking. If a girl wrote about the whole night, she meant the evening, because girls are larks. Guys are night owls. That night I slept for 3 hours in the morning. Typical for guys.2A02:A316:E1F3:CC00:CC7F:385B:2313:707B (talk) 20:44, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A quote is a quote. If the original tweet said night then we're going to say it said night. The article in fact already says, "Early use of the phrase was without sexual connotations, referring simply to the act of watching the online streaming service, typically by oneself."
