Context

This line is from the song "P.Y.T." by Michael Jackson, from the album Thriller (1983).

Oh my, we're blushing. Not so much now, when sexual innuendo is less "in-u-endo" and more "in-u-face," but back in 1983, lyrics like this were groundbreaking.

We know that you know P.Y.T. means Pretty Young Thing, but we've made these tweaks to cool the heat:

I want to love you
 (P.Y.T.)
Pick Your Teeth


That bores it down nicely so you can do your homework without being distracted. You're welcome.

Where you've heard it

You've heard this everywhere there's action: parties, date night, prom. Can't you just hear some dude using that line on a pretty young thing? If she's clever, she'll get his resume, grades, financials, and volunteer record before she gives him a second thought.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Listen, pal. We'd rather be called P.S.T.: Pretty Smart Thing.
