Similar to Seinfeld’s Elaine’s term sponge-worthy.
This term is attributed to when a single mom must decide whether a date is worth the cost of a babysitter. If the planned date either 1) costs less than the cost of the babysitter or 2) the suitor is not highly desired; the single mom should decline.
He asked her her to dinner at a Vietnamese BYOB restaurant with a $20.00 buffet, she determined that the date was not babysitter worthy.
Rachel said Steve is babysitter worthy because he is fun and he takes her sailing.
