A technique used by a girl to tantalise and, ultimately, maintain the attention and interest of her boyfriend. The girl hints that she's always been attracted to other girls and, should the circumstances arise, she'd be open to a threesome.
The term comes from the old
trick of a cart driver dangling a carrot on a stick in front of the
donkey. As the
donkey moves forward to get the carrot, it pulls the cart and driver, so that the carrot always remains out of reach.
Boy #1: My new girlfriend told me she's into other chicks. I could be all up in a menage a trois pretty damn
soon!
Boy #2: Dude, don't be fooled. It sounds like she's dangling the threesome carrot.
