Netflix and chill

Netflix and chill is an English-language general term using an invitation to watch Netflix together as a euphemism for sex, either between partners or casually as a "booty call". Since its first recorded, non-sexual use in a tweet posted in 2009, the term has gained popularity within the Twitter community and other social media sites such as Facebook and Vine. By 2015, Netflix and chill had become an internet meme, with its use in teenage social media described as "sexual" by Fusion. Much like selfie, use of the term has now spread beyond the internet and into general common use. Singer Zara Larsson, in an interview with Noisey, said she believes use of the phrase has declined since 2015, when asked about her line "no Netflix and chill, that’s dead" from the 2016 song "Girls Like".

The first recorded use of the phrase "Netflix and chill" was in a tweet posted by "NoFaceNina" in January 2009. Early use of the phrase was without sexual connotations, referring simply to the act of watching the online streaming service, typically by oneself. By 2013, Netflix's popularity in the US had risen greatly, having accumulated millions of paid subscribers, increasing verb use of the brand and this phrase as a standalone compound noun.

The euphemistic nature of the phrase is believed to have been established in mid-2014, and by the end of the year had spread throughout the African American Black Twitter community, as seen by many now typing chill within scare quotes. In April 2015, a definition of the phrase was added to Urban Dictionary stating that it meant "code for two people going to each other's houses and [have sexual intercourse] or doing other sexual related acts". Soon, the term would spread beyond Black Twitter, becoming an internet meme, gaining the attention of news websites such as The Guardian and the Daily Mirror.
