Noticed a punny euphemism in this month's Premier magazine, in an article about a movie-themed dating service that arranges singles' parties. The singles gather at a movie theater for drinks, then watch a movie. The author of the article, Jason Guerrasio, calls the set-up a "meet market." Despite "ice-brakers" that include a "Truth or Dare version of Spin-the-Bottle." The drinks ("swilling vodka") and the subsequent darkness make it sound pretty MEAT-y alright, if not also MATE-y, but the not-quite-kissing version of Truth or Dare makes it sound more and more like eight grade.
