play basketball

Euphemism for "go to strip club and grab tits". Used primarily by people who are trying to be sneaky and not admit they're going to strip clubs.

Origin of euphemism was from an asian man who would periodically go with his friends to Montreal(the capital of strip clubs) and when asked why he was going, he'd reply, "play basketball".

me: "So what are you going to Montreal for?"
ak: "We're just going to play basketball."
me: "You're not going to the strip clubs, I hear they're really good."
ak: "Nope, we're going to play basketball."
me: "ok(thinking to myself, yeah right)"

Play ball

In a relationship in which one partner is polyamorous, the act of the monogamous partner allowing the poly partner to occasionally have sexual relations with other partners. Similar to a “hall pass,” it shows respect, trust, and mutual understanding between the partners. Those who refuse to play ball are frankly immature, possessive, controlling, and often abusive to their partners.

I thought I’d never get to hook up with Bella, but luckily her boyfriend decided to play ball. He’s such a cool and understanding guy.

playing it by ear

Not really sure how it going to work out. All depends. Sort of like "wait and see"

About whether we'll go to the concert or not, I'm playing it by ear.

play circus

Playing circus is when a chicken sits on your face and you have to guess how much she weighs.

Would you like to come back to my place and play circus with me?
