pie (adjective)
Used to describe a person, comment, thing or behaviour that comes off as creepy, pervy, disturbing, inappropriate, borderline pedophilic or straight up pedophilic.
The word originates from the infamous "Pedophile Information Exchange" (PIE), a disbanded UK pro-paedophilia activist group from the 1970s-80s that advocated for harmful and illegal activities and campaigned for the abolition of the age of consent. It was described by the BBC in 2007 as "an international organisation of people who trade obscene material".
Calling something "pie" implies that it crosses moral boundaries and might make people uncomfortable, especially regarding inappropriate attention from adults toward minors or young people under the age of 25. "Pie" as an adjective started being used circa 2022 and is commonly used to call out or describe behaviour that feels wrong or predatory. It can also be used to describe the aesthetics or general vibe of something - such as someone's choice of clothing.
"Dude’s at the club like, ‘Age is just a number.’ Yeah, and pie is just a dessert — doesn’t make it less crusty."
"She’s 34 and just got pregnant by some 26-year-old guy — that’s pie behavior right there."
"He’s always commenting on those young girls at the gym. Honestly, it’s pie as hell."
"Pointelle underwear on grown women is quite pie."
