movie listening

Rather than movie WATCHING, movie listening occurs when two people have become distracted by each other during the movie and start making out, leaving them only the ability to hear the movie instead of see it.

guy 1: so was the movie you watched with that girl any good?
guy 2: I don't know, it was more of a movie listening deal, we only got to watch like 20 minutes of it.
guy 1: scoooooooooooooooooooore.

never listening to autumn while driving again

"never listening to autumn while driving again" is a phrase used in a popular TikTok trend in which a person is driving a car in a video game (most commonly GTA 5) and there is a massive crash while the song "Can't Take it!" by Autumn is playing. The lyrics "baby look at the view" are sung when the car gets into the accident. It is also used when the car drives off of a cliff or gets thrown across the map.

Depending on the vehicle, game, or circumstance it is being used in, there are many variations of this phrase.

*Car crashes into a 200-ton semi-truck and gets brutally demolished*
