pussy on the chain wax

Putting the “pussy on the chain wax” was initially popularized by Key and Peele, and yada, yada… Look. There are some rumors that the phrased preexisted the famous comedic sketch of the two comics, but if we were to seriously argue if that’s true and where it came from, we would be putting the pussy on the chain wax.

The definition of the phrase actually comes later on through the bit itself, when Keegan Michael Key describes how he lost his job and his girlfriend left him that day, and all he wants is to have some fun, which he pursues through repeating the phrase “put the pussy on the chain wax” again and again, trying, as correctly Jordan Peele concludes just prior to, make a “thing” happen, which is of course to popularize a phrase by putting it out there and let it “conjure” a meaning by the means of crowd sourcing alone.

Thus, after that fine piece of comedic work that caustically criticizes how some of the most popular, non sensical phrases of our time are made, and how, if you try to test them through logic the only thing you going to achieve is to kill the good mood of a whole group of people who are having fun and connect through humor, based on the experience of collaboration, the only fitting definition for the phrase seems to be exactly that. Simply put, “Put the pussy on the chain wax” means doing something counterproductive that will lead others into loss of sympathy/respect/trust/bonding/reliance on your person.
