Updated March 22 2021, 12:57 p.m. ET
If you’re a millennial, you’ve probably heard of (or have even used) the phrase “Netflix and chill.” The simple slogan that your parents may think means to binge-watch movies for hours on the streaming service has become known as a euphemism for sexual activity. The viral catchphrase fueled by memes, GIFs, tweets, and more, has translated into the English language as a slang term to mean “hooking up.”
While the popular phrase continues to be used in everyday life (especially via text), more companies have taken a page from Netflix and have launched their own streaming services to compete with the corporation. Disney just launched their digital platform Disney+, and users have already created a new phrase to allude to sexual activities. So, move over “Netflix and chill,” because now the world has been introduced to “Disney Plus and thrust.”
The internet reacts to "Disney Plus and thrust" phrase.
"Disney Plus and thrust" has gone viral as the new phrase to imply two people hanging out with the intention to "hook up." And yes, we know it is not as discrete as "Hulu and hang" or "Netflix and chill."
Social media has gone crazy reacting to the new casual sex phrase, and we've rounded up a few of our favorite reactions.
"Lmao, Netflix and chill is dead it’s now Disney plus and thrust," tweeted one person. Well, we don't think Netflix is going away anytime soon...
"Disney plus and thrust? More like Disney plus and trust, somebody get in a monogamous and healthy relationship with me," this individual tweeted. Seriously, every #SingleGirl can totally relate. And, if you've just added this phrase to your Tinder and Bumble profile, we definitely support it.

This person tweeted, "Just overheard someone say 'I’m just trying to Disney plus and thrust tonight'...is this the move now or what???" Why, yes. Yes, it is the move. Nothing says "let's hookup" like watching Disney Channel Original Movies from the '90s in your parents' basement.
"So ready for November 12th so we can Disney plus and thrust. Instead of the regular Netflix and chill," a person tweeted. Well, it seems this person was ready for a bit of change in their life.
"No longer do I @netflix and chill. Now I @disneyplus & Thrust. You’re welcome," one individual tweeted. Basically, Netflix and chill was so five years ago.
