Q:
What does I forgot my library card. Can I check you out? mean?
A:
It’s a pickup line. Pickup lines are phrases (often cheesy or funny ones) used when you want to flirt with somebody.
“Checking someone out” means to look at a person in an admiring way because you find them attractive.
Example: “Oh my god, that waitress was totally checking you out!”
When you “check out a book” you’re borrowing it from a library.
Example: “Are you checking out that book or just browsing?”
So although the words “check out” are the same in both, the meaning is different when applied to a person 🙂
They begin the pickup line by saying “I forgot my library card” and then finish it with “can I check you out?”, but they mean the other version of “check out”, not the one used for library books, lol.
