PLAYER

What Does Player Mean?

The Quick Answer

Player means "romantically or sexually promiscuous person" and "cool."

Romantically or Sexually Promiscuous Person

The word player is widely used, both online and offline, as a slang term to refer to a person (usually male), who is romantically or sexually promiscuous, i.e., someone who has many romantic or sexual relationships, often at the same time. For example:

• Everyone thought Brad Pitt was a player when he split with Jennifer Aniston. They knew he was a player when he split with Angelina Jolie.

Cool

More recently, player has come to be used as a synonym of "cool", (i.e., something or someone that is admirable or stylish). For example:

• Brad Pitt may be a player, but Angelina Jolie is player.

In the context of coolness and positivity, player is often abbreviated as just "p".
