When someone actively interrupts, blocks, or derails another person’s attempt to flirt, rizz, or joke their way into someone’s heart. Usually done in group settings or livestreams, this is the playful art of stopping your friend from “cooking.” You’re not protecting anyone from danger—you’re protecting them from success.
It’s like being a romantic goalie: your entire job is to stop their shot from landing.

“I was trying to talk to her at the party, but Chris kept playing defense like I owed him rent.”
“Lacy always plays defense when Marlon starts rizzing—it’s like she trains for it.”
“Bro stop playing defense and let me cook.”

Get the Playing Defensemug. The phrase play in the hay is often used figuratively to describe carefree or playful behavior, similar to children playing in a pile of hay. It implies having fun or enjoying oneself without any specific purpose or responsibility.

Get the stick and playmug. This is a move in any card game, where the player may choose to throw his cards on the table and declare himself the winner regardless of what his cards were. (This is usually a last resort play by scum bag steve).
Your friends beating you in a card game? Use chazz's play and brag about beating them and how much they suck.
