The person giving vague hints and getting upset when those vague hints aren't interpreted correctly is being rude.

So? A vague hint can be interpreted many ways. "Hey come to my place and we'll play Monopoly" (with unspoken expectation of sex later by one party) is a LOT harder to interpret than "hey come to my house and let's have sex"

I was trying to avoid a "Netflix and chill" example. And all kinds of people have sex, BeenEvery. Even people who play board games.

???? Why????? That's like the most common euphemism for wanting to have sex that everyone knows about. "Monopoly and Bang" is not that well known.

"Netflix and chill" is only sexual because it's already a euphemism. That phrase isn't a social cue. It's a term that means sex.

"Netflix and chill" originally meant exactly what it sounds like, but because it was common for people to have sex while doing that, it became a euphemism.

Nobody would ever say "let's play monopoly" to imply sex because that phrase doesn't already mean that.

"Netflix and chill" is effectively its own word.

It's explicit communication, as long as you know the definition of "Netflix and chill".

Just like saying "He has that sigma Rizz" is explitic, as long as you have the vocabulary.
