Lampshading

When a guy or girl tries to pick up a drunk person at a bar before the lights come up and reveal their true outward beauty.

I thought she was really into me and trying to get me back to her place. . . But when the bar did last call and the lights came up and I saw her face I realized she was lampshading me.

Lampshading

A sexual interaction where one person (ideally a male) is wearing a kilt or skirt, standing with their legs at least shoulder width apart whilst their partner (male or female) is knelt between their legs with their head inside the kilt, stroking the penis of the aforementioned male partner, alternatively fingering the vagina of a female partner, as if they were attempting to pull the draw chain of a light to turn it on. The goal, of course, is to arouse (turn on) the partner.

Stacy: Really? I thought her hair smelled a bit off today.
