Term coined on TwitchTV related to the concept of charity provided to other streamer's when they fuck up due to self interest or their own goals (sometimes positive and noble). The desired outcome is to maintain positive relationships with larger viewer networks in order to grow their audiences due to some moral expense.
It is an analogy for the Thin Blue Line in police. Crossing the Thin Purple Line will often result in shit for streamers from parasocial pushback as well as ostracization.

Get the trout line mug.Da "ultimate" in acceptable excuses for why it took you so long to finish shopping, processing'delivering bureaucratic paperwork, or otherwise conducting routine business.
Telling your having-impatiently-waited family or car-pool buddies, "There was a long line ahead of me" may indeed get you off da hook as far as their venting their seething wrath at you, but you yourself will likely find it very stressful (not to mention tiring on your achy legs and feet!) to have to cool your heels in line for so long, and so in the end you may feel similarly weakened and emotionally exhausted as you would have if you'd had to "face the music" because you **hadn't** had any plausible excuse for producing such a lengthy delay in finishing up.
