Unironically sent this to my crush
How’d it go?
“Silly puppy, that’s not how you shotgun smoke”
This is genuinely confusing to us.
It’s a cute picture but idk why playing is a bad thing.
“this could be us but you playing” was a meme around 2012-2014, probably influenced by the 2012 song This Could Be Us by Manio.
It uses slang from the time where a player (/playa) was a man who led women on, often multiple simultaneously, with no desire to committ to a long term relationship.
The caption was usually (ironically) applied to some kind of awkward couple as if it was the height of romance, with the caption implying itd be the perfect relationship for the author and their interlocutor, if only the other party would take the relationship seriously.
The image in this thread depicts a couple of “common” fetishes: puppy play and smoking (having smoke blown in one’s face, or being used as an ashtray, or both).
Thanks so much for explaining it fully!
Playa
just proving how hep to the jive I am
You ain’t no turkey
I think it’s slang for “being really flirty but not taking things to the next level.” It’s only a bad thing if one person wants it and feels like they’re being led on
We don’t really understand the picture at all, what is happening in it?
Affectionate blowing of smoke in someone’s face lol
Thanks so much!
