Putting the “pussy on the chain wax” was initially popularized by Key and Peele, and yada, yada… Look. There are some rumors that the phrased preexisted the famous comedic
sketch of the two comics, but if we were to seriously argue if that’s true and where it came from, we would be putting the pussy on the chain wax.
The definition of the phrase actually comes later on through the bit itself, when Keegan
Michael Key describes how he lost his
job and his girlfriend left him that
day, and all he wants is to have some fun, which he pursues through repeating the phrase “put the pussy on the chain wax” again and again, trying, as correctly Jordan Peele concludes just prior to, make a “thing” happen, which is of course to popularize a phrase by putting it out there and let it “conjure” a meaning by the means of crowd sourcing alone.
Thus, after that fine piece of comedic
work that caustically criticizes how some of the most
popular, non sensical phrases of our time are made, and how, if you try to
test them through logic the only thing you going to achieve is to
kill the good mood of a whole group of
people who are having fun and connect through humor, based on the experience of collaboration, the only fitting definition for the phrase seems to be exactly that. Simply put, “Put the pussy on the chain wax” means doing something counterproductive that will lead others into loss of sympathy/
respect/trust/bonding/reliance on your person.
-How did Keegan
Michael Key lost his job and his girlfriend at the same day in that
one Key and Peele
sketch?
-Men, he kept putting the pussy on the chain wax all day long…
-Really? Oh, man… Wait… What does that mean?
