To speak to someone with the intent of eventually engaging in sexual intercourse with them. Generally conducted in a relaxed, playful and outstandingly obvious manner.

Almost invariably carried out by men on women; to be a male recipient means you're either extremely lucky or the giver believes you, as the British say, to bat for the other side.

A common, braindead, and therefore quintessentially British phrase, which explains the strange and nonsensical definition(s) sitting next to this one. To chat up is a type of the unfortunate word of banter, which shares all three properties mentioned above.
Guy 1: "Cor, look at all the fit birds in the place!"
Guy 2: "Yeah, I'm gonna chat up the one in the tight black skirt. Phwoar!"

Guy 1 walks in hungover and bruised.
Guy 2: "What did you get up to?"
Guy 1: "I got trashed and started chatting up this stunner. I started pulling and I was all set to bang her but then her boyfriend came back from the bar."

A couple are at a restaurant. The girl goes to the restroom while the guy places the order. When she comes back, the guy and the waitress have just finished talking.
Girl: "I can't take my eyes off you for a second. You were blatantly chatting her up."

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
