Birth Control

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The strategic use of a fake name during a one-night stand to avoid future complications, stalking, or awkward grocery store encounters. A dubious dating tactic that relies on deception rather than actual contraception. Not to be confused with actual birth control, which is significantly more responsible and less ethically questionable.

Example Usage

He told her his name was Brad, but his real name was Eugene—classic birth control move.
