Grilled Cheese Sandwhich? – w4w – 20
Looking for someone to make some grilled cheese sandwiches! Can’t pay anything but a warm house and friendly conversation. We have the bread, butter, and cheese. We are just too lazy to make it. Serious inquires only!
Sure, this seemed strange to me as soon as I saw it. You have the ingredients, but lack the know-how? And want a stranger to cook for you? Huh. But it was days before I noticed that this is a personals ad. Now, we don’t usually cover personals ads, but we don’t get that many submissions, so we have to be flexible. And this is just weird enough to make us bend.
Full disclosure – we’re not part of the w4w community, so maybe we’re a bit square and out of the loop. But is “looking for someone to make some grilled cheese sandwiches!” some sort of expression? Is this lingo we’ve just never seen? Do “warm house” and “friendly conversation” have secret in-crowd meanings?
“We have the bread, butter, and cheese.” Well of course you do. Say no more.
“We are just too lazy to make it.” I heard that!
I think this is starting to make sense.
Nice train guy – will you take “Grilled Cheese Maker” for a ride after? I bet you will…

Just for cheese toasties? Or will they be wanting any takers to branch out into tomato soup later?
I suspect this may be a reference to a boston.com advice column found here:

Here’s the question:
Q: I am a 30 Year old male. I have been dating a wonderful woman for 2.5 years. I would describe everything about her as perfect except for one thing. She absolutely refuses to [make me a grilled cheese sandwich]. Now I want to ask her to marry me, but the thought of going the rest of my life without receiving [grilled cheese sandwiches] is definitely a worry. I fear I may resent her eventually, or possibly feel the need to seek [grilled cheese sandwiches] out somewhere else when enough time has passed. It has already been 2.5+ years since I last experienced a [grilled cheese sandwich]. It is starting to consume my thoughts. I don’t know if this one thing is enough to be a deal-breaker. Everything else is perfect. I don’t know what to do!

Nudge, nudge! Wink, Wink!
I’m a bachelor myself, know what I mean? know what I mean? Say no more!
But when he asks if he can put his special pickle on the sandwich, run!
Urban dictionary has a lovely definition of what a grilled cheese sandwhich just may be in this situation…
YUM!
OH MY GOD!!! What a horrible thought! Hasn’t anyone ever heard of after-sex hygiene??? Prevents this situation and UTIs as well! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I would go and make it for them, but I do not own the intellectual rights to make it for others.
while grilled cheese sandwich is a common term for … I won’t even say it, the term “stuffing a badly packed kebab would have been a closer term for that “service”
W4W 20? Not by that picture, you ain’t. Three times that, maybe.
The creepiness factor was already pretty high after reading the ad. Immediate thoughts included the words “it puts the lotion on its skin” but after reading the euphemisms and then Urban Dictionary, I’m totally not leaving the house unarmed from now on.
I’m with Anna Rexia. How could ANYONE in that picture be remotely interpreted as a twenty year old woman seeking another woman? Even if the adult’s gender is right (blurry photo) the age is WRONG. Also, if a grilled cheese sandwich, as a google search seems to indicate, is a euphamism for a sexual threesome, then for the love of endangered species, take the little girl out of the picture. Yikes. Scary.
OOoh, I was wrong about what the euphamism is for. It’s for something else, something which, in its original context, could not really be found in a W4W situation…
Okay, scared now.
Suppose you answer this ad and want to go and make their grilled cheese sandwiches for them, and that is all it is. Can you imagine the horror that is the “warm house” of a person too lazy to make a grilled cheese sandwich? The Horror. The Horror.
What does “w4w 20″ mean?
Search it in Google (acronym) and yeah…they’re not looking to eat….sandwiches
It means woman for woman, posters age is 20.
Is it like the old saying goes, they would like to know “which side your bread is buttered”?
check the crawl space for bodies…………
I thought they were just stoned and genuinely had the munchies but couldn’t get up to make a sandwich
Buwahahaha
175. If I could make my own grilled cheese sandwich, I would never leave the kitchen.
I was going to look up the euphemism on Urban Dictionary. I got maybe 85% of the phrase typed in when I stopped and thought “Do I really want to instantly think of some internet-worthy sexual act/fetish EVERY TIME someone says the words ‘grilled cheese sandwich’?”
I choose to remain ignorant of this PARTICULAR oddity.
