Obituary

Netflix and Chill began, innocently enough, as a genuine invitation to watch Netflix and relax. It ended as the most widely understood euphemism in the English language, a phrase so famous it spawned its own merchandise, its own think pieces, and its own awkward family dinners. It died in 2016 the way all euphemisms die: the moment everyone knew what it meant, it could no longer mean it quietly. It was the last meme to do its job entirely through implication. Nothing has been implied since.
