The internet slang term “Play chicken” means to engage in a risky or dangerous situation to test someone’s bravery or determination to back down first. It implies a high-stakes standoff where both parties involved are willing to push the limits to prove dominance or superiority. It can be used to describe situations where individuals take risks or challenge each other’s courage in a virtual context.
Examples:
1. Sarah and Mark were arguing about their favorite soccer teams, and it escalated into a heated discussion online. Neither wanted to back down, so they started to play chicken, posting more and more outrageous comments to see who would eventually give up and admit defeat.
2. John and his friend decided to play chicken in a gaming competition. They purposely picked the most difficult level and challenged each other to finish it without any assistance. They were determined to prove their skills and endurance, even if it meant facing countless failures and setbacks.
