heathcliffing


“to heathcliff”. talking about the kidnapping of an usually unattainable third party, often a celebrity, for the purpose of marriage or other romantic endeavors. this is accomplished by confining the subject in a locked room (usually a closet) and not letting them out.
it refers to emily bronte’s novel wuthering heights. the main character, heathcliff, kidnaps the daughter of his former love and locks her into a room until she agrees to marry his son. while it may seem that the twisted nature of the original kidnapping imbues the act of “heathcliffing” with a certain sense of depravity, most proposed heathcliffing events are light-hearted objectification of hot men by single, tense women.
woman 1: gaw, did you see (insert male celebrity)’s latest photos? the ones where on one page he was wearing a suit and shirtless on the next?
woman 2: no. was it hot?
woman 1: shyeah. i am so going to heathcliff him and put him in my closet.
woman 3: ooh. are we talking about heathcliffing people? i already have five in my walk-in closet!
