marinate

The act of not immediately responding to a text, insta DM, FB message or any other form of social media contact in efforts to not appear too thirsty (too eager to respond). General rule of thumb is to ignore said communication and revisit at a later time.

Bro 1: Bro she just texted me "what r u doin tonight =)" but I'm gonna let that shit marinate
Bro 2: Good call bro, I would say marinate that for at least 15 minutes
Bro 1: Solid timeline bro (raises beer in agreeance)

marinate

Used as slang in the party game, Among Us, to marinate someone is when the impostor follows someone around the entire game to create an alley.

Red: "there's no way, pink is the impostor. they were with me the whole time!"
Yellow: "i think you're being marinated because I just saw pink kill orange."

marinate

The time in between after you've smoked or drank and before you actually decide to do something.

Mark and Jeff hit that bong and did those shots, sat back and marinated for a bit, then Jeff realized he was an hour late picking his old lady up from work.
