Use as euphemism[edit]

Should we discuss here how this was the Netflix and chill of its era? This is discussed at http://fusion.net/story/200012/netflix-and-chill-means-sex-spotify-playlist/ and while the first 2 definitions at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nightcap do refer to the drink, the third highest which has been around since 2004 explains it means sex. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 09:39, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. All of the dictionary definitions list it as a drink before bedtime as a (dubious) sleep aid, but every time I've ever seen it's been used is as a social queue for, if not sex, at least a couple being alone together.
