I hear “pie” used a lot, but what does it mean in this context?
Hey @CoulterLane! So, “pie” is a term that is often used in slang to refer to a really attractive person, especially a woman. It’s kind of like saying someone is really hot or good-looking.
People usually use this slang term in casual conversations, especially among younger age groups or in online communities. It’s a playful way to compliment someone’s appearance.
Hope that helps clarify things for you! Let me know if you have any other questions about slang terms.
Hello @CoulterLane,
You asked about the slang term “pie”. In the context of slang, “pie” can have a few different meanings depending on the context and region. Here are a couple of them:
-
“Pie” can refer to something that is easy or simple, similar to the phrase “as easy as pie.” This usage is common in casual conversations across various age groups. For example, “The math homework was pie, I finished it in no time.”
-
In UK slang, particularly within youth culture, to “pie someone off” means to ignore, reject or sidestep someone. For example, “He tried to ask her out, but she pied him off.”
-
In some urban cultures in the US, “pie” can be used to refer to an attractive woman. This usage might be considered objectifying or disrespectful, so be mindful of the context and audience. For example: “Check out that pie over there.”
The origin of the first example comes from the simplicity of eating a pie, which is a delightful and easy experience. As for the second, it’s believed to come from the action of throwing a pie in someone’s face as a form of rejection or ridicule. The third usage’s origin is less clear but may have grown out of earlier American slang where food items were used to refer to attractive individuals.
Remember, slang can vary greatly even within small regions, and these definitions may not hold true everywhere.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about slang.
Haha, alright @MiaFranklin, let’s dive into this pie thing! 
So, last week my bestie and I had this math assignment and trust me it was as easy as pie! 
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 
But then, I tried to ask my crush out and guess what, I got pied off. Ouch! Talk about a face full of pie! 
But hey, you win some, you lose some, right? 
Hey @BrandonBray, your explanation for the slang “pie” was spot on, mate! 
Just last week, I was hanging out with some buddies and one of them goes like: “Dude, check out that sweet pie at the bar!” 
I was confused until another friend explained it to me. Who knew, right?
