(Watch) Netflix and Chill - 넷플릭스 보며 쉬자, (비디오방에서) 쉬었다 가자, 집에서 차 한 잔 하고 가

[세이지]

페이스북에 외국인 친구들이 있거나 외국 계정 SNS를 팔로우하시는 분들이라면 한 번 쯤 보셨을 수도 있는 유행어
'Netflix and chill'


일단은 Netflix가 뭘까요?

아시다시피 이건 인터넷 스트리밍 미디어로 이 웹사이트를 통해서 여러가지 방송사의 미국 드라마, 영화, 다큐멘터리 등을 볼 수 있는 곳입니다.

하나의 웹사이트에 여러가지 미디어가 모여있고, 인터넷이 되는 곳이라면 어디서든 방송을 다시보기할 수 있기때문에, 엄청나게 사랑을 받고 있는 곳이죠.

비슷하게 Hulu나 캐나다에는 Shomi라는 스트리밍 사이트도 있어요.


그러면, Chill은? 냉기, 한기라는 뜻도 있지만 구어체로 편하게 쉬다, 느긋하게 쉬다, relax의 의미가 있어요.


그래서 (Watch) Netflix and Chill 하면 Netflix를 보며 느긋하게 쉬다. 라는 뜻입니다.


그런데 사람들이 Netflix and chill을 쓸 때는 다른 응큼하
한 의미로 사용되는 것도 현실입니다.



남녀가 같이 Netflix를 보며 느긋하게 쉬다가 야하게 진도가 나간다는 숨겨진 의미에요!


남자친구가 여자친구한테 혹은 여친이 남친한테 문자로 "오늘 집에 부모님 안 계시는데, 와서 같이 영화볼래??" 라고 보내는 거지만 사실은 다른 목적도 숨어 있을 수 있다는 겁니다.


친구가 같이 넷플릭스 보면서 놀자고 했는데, 걔네 집에 갔더니 티비조차 없을 때는 정말 황당하겠죠!

'내가 'netflix and chill'이라고 하면, 진짜 넷플릭스 보며 쉬는걸 말하는 거야.

'티비보며 쉬기'를 한 지 2시간인데, 이 애가 진도를 나갈 아무런 낌새를 보이지 않을 때...

같이 넷플릭스를 본지 30분 정도 경과하자, 그가 아래처럼 이런 눈길을 보낸다

Okay, kids. This is why you don't chill and watch Netflix.
얘들아, 왜 Netflix and chill을 하면 안되는지 알려줄게.

That, right there.
이거, 바로 이거야. (임신)

Don't do it. It's a trap.
하지마, 이건 함정이야.







재밌게 보셨나요? 원래 미국이나 캐나다 젊은층 사람들이 집에서 늘어져서 Netflix 보는 것을 좋아해서 주변 친구들이랑 문자하면서 뭐하냐고 물어보면 대부분 neflix거든요 ㅎㅎㅎ


그런데, 이게 vine 덕분에 아니면 어떤 다른 짤 덕분에 이게 공공연하게 알려진 속뜻을 갖은 유행어가 되었네요. Netflix and chill? 이란 문자를 받으시면 신중하게 생각하시고 가시길 바랍니다



How ‘Netflix and chill’ became code for casual sex

Originally, the phrase was innuendo-free, but then it became a euphemism. Now the streaming service is getting in on the joke itself


Innocent pleasure: in the old days, ‘Netflix and chill’ meant just that.


Good news for adults who enjoy being treated like children: Netflix has invented a single button, ominously named “The Switch”, that will, if you choose to build your own, dim your lights, put your phone into “do not disturb” mode, order a takeaway and set you up for a night of viewing. The bad news: the button sounds pretty complicated – making one involves programming a microcontroller, figuring out your device’s infrared patterns and soldering together the electronics.

Even so, the internet has playfully dubbed it the “Netflix and chill” button, and its arrival represents the next stage in the life of a phrase that began as simply an innocent way of saying, “I’ve had a hard day and all I want to do this evening is put on Netflix, curl up into the foetal position and consume four straight hours of visual entertainment”, but has become an innuendo (and a meme) for hooking up.


In the innocent days of 2009, “Netflix and chill” really did mean “chilling out and watching Netflix”. It was a solo activity. There you were, sitting on your sofa, the latest season of whatever-it-is buzzing away in front of you, the “chill” part of the equation very much not a euphemism for anything at all.

The phrase has since become a 21st-century version of “Do you want to come up for some coffee?” In April, it was added to Urban Dictionary with the definition: “Code for two people going to each others houses and fucking or doing other sexual related acts.”

In 2014, when the euphemistic nature of the phrase was being established, gender lines began to form. Guys tweeted pictures of smug faces alongside captions such as, “When she says Netflix and chill”, while girls tweeted pictures of shocked, dismayed faces with captions such as, “When you find out what Netflix and chill means”.

This July, Netflix itself got in on the meme, posting a gif from the film Clueless, in which Alicia Silverstone’s character attempts to seduce a school friend while watching telly, only to tumble backwards off the bed, with the caption: “Netflix and chill? No, really”.

From there, Nicki Minaj caught on, posting a take on the meme to Instagram (503,000 likes), and the “and chill” half began being used in anything from “Lord of the Rings and chill” to “Ramen and chill”. The button, however, may be the death knell of the meme, marking the full corporate appropriation of the phrase. If that doesn’t do it, though, surely this will: across America, parents have started to figure out what it means.

Since you’re here …
… we’ve got a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever, but far fewer are paying for it. Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure.
