Catching A Case

When you're online with someone and they say something sexual too you, and you get this grippling feeling they're not of age so you ask their age to find out they're under 18. This is where you come to realize you're Catching A Case.

Example 1:
Person 1: Hey girl, you sound hot. You mind if i inject maple syrup in your ass?
Person 2: sure.. wait, how old are you?
Person 1: i'm 16 and have alot to give.
Person 2: I'm Catching A Case, bye.

Example 2:
Person 1: I lied about my age, but i hope you'll still love me for me. I'm not 21, I'm 13.
Person 2: I'm Catching A Case, and we can't co-exist together anymore. *blocks person*

Example 3:
Person 1: I'm impressed you're grand champ on RL, maybe you could teach me to get good.
Person 2: Yea sure, but it's going to take a while.
Person 1: Baby, I got time for you.
Person 2: .. How old are you?
Person 1: 15, 16 next month.. you got snap?
Person 2: I'm Catching A Case, gotta go bye.
