    > If Netflix doesn’t buy ads against "chill"
I wonder if there's a potential issue with trademarks there. If "Netflix and chill" becomes popular enough, does Netflix end up just being a generic word for watching online TV?



I thought "watching" anything (or even having a Netflix subscription in the first place) wasn't obligatory part of the activity "Netflix and chill".


Related; Stallman said he wouldn't Netflix and chill, but he would agree to watch some local video files.

You watch the first 15-30 minutes of something while getting progressively more handsy.


Depends on what you mean by it.... people do definitely use it to imply a sedentary night watching tv, although others use it ironically to indicate a booty call.
