Can someone please tell me what this new hipster phrase means and where it originated? Already over 7 usages of it this week alone on Craigslist's "Missed Connections" boards! Is this a good thing? Do I want someone to wipe it on me? The next time I spot a hottie, should I be wiping something on them? What? My tears of loneliness and frustration? Lucy's poo? My butt? What??!!
See for yo'self:
Walking down Lex with yellow bracelet! - m4m - 31
Date: 2004-08-18, 1:55PM EDT
All this yellow bracelet talk made me think about the cute guy I saw walking down Lex this morning at about 11 - bike shorts, green T-shirt, and one of those yellow bracelets, talking on your phone. I was the short Italian guy with glasses, gray slacks & jacket, red & blue patterned tie. We alked alongside each other for a while and when you turned left on 54th I wiped it on you. Hope to see you in the neighborhood again.
Dark gray hoodie & blue jeans at Ronson party last night - w4m - 26

I saw you at about 11:30 at the Ronson birthday party last night - you mostly kept to yourself off in one corner. Scruffy, kind of Vincent Gallo-looking guy (but not Vincent Gallo LOL) in a dark gray hoodie with some kind of writing on it. You were so cute! I was the blonde in the short pink & purple dress with the Von Dutch bag. I wiped it on you twice! Who knows if you'll read this but it's worth a try.

Glad I could be of help. Before you got to Starbucks, I wiped it on your cellphone. Glad we could meet and hope to see you again!
Tall, glasses, blonde, checked shirt on A train - m4m - 24

I sat across the aisle from you and you stood up to give an older woman your seat - your crotch was right in my face for the rest of the trip. You got off at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, and as you were leaving I wiped it on you. I hope you noticed. I was wearing a sleeveless gray T-shirt and baggy blue jeans.
Cute dark-skinned guy in SoHo - w4m - 22

You were walking up Broadway, dark-skinned, nice face, chocolate brown shirt and dark tie, holding a multi-colored Daffy's bag, at about 3PM today. You had headphones on but I couldn't hear what you were listening to. I was the tall, skinny white girl with the two pigtails. I followed you for a few blocks and then I wiped it on you. I hope I see you again!
Puerto Rican cutie at Nas on Sun - m4w - 22 D
Date: 2004-08-16, 1:31PM EDT
You were wearing a pink hoodie & sweat pants, I stood behind you for most the show & saw you lookin' back at me, as we were walkin' out I wiped it on you. You were hot, I hope you read this.
Uptown N train Sat night around 11:30 - I wiped it on you - m4w - 28
Date: 2004-08-16, 11:00AM EDT
You were a very attractive woman, early 30s, black dress, Sephora bag, Burberry plaid knapsack, short blonde hair / dark streaks. A bunch of tourists and drunk Jersey boys fell in my lap. You were cute as hell. As you walked off the train, I wiped it on you - did you notice?
Why are these people still wearing VON FUCKING DUTCH? Besides the wiping, that is gross.

You probably figured this out already but I made the whole thing up.
