split-it
verb (colloquial, euphemistic; vulgar-slang, chiefly British)
Definition:
To luxuriate in a moment of solitary pleasure; typically involving a freshly made bed, an artisanal coffee, a feline companion of discerning temperament, and the climactic indulgence of self-intimacy. The phrase draws whimsical reference from the anatomical act of splitting it, a metaphorical nod to the bifurcation of the labia during said solitary encounter.
Etymology:
Modern British slang. A playful conflation of genteel self-care and unabashed self-love. Said to have originated from the ritualistic ‘breaking-in’ of one’s own bed with all the essentials : cat, caffeine, and climax.
See also:
me-time, clitoral cottagecore, flatwarming

“First night in the new flat. Cat’s curled up, coffee’s still hot. Time to light a candle, pop on some Kate Bush, and split-it.”
