[ SLANG ][ LIFESTYLE_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
A short-form video format where someone publicly vouches for and pitches a single friend as a great catch, hoping to set them up through viral reach rather than a private introduction.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"She posted a whole Date My Friend video hyping up her roommate, got like two hundred comments."
LORE & ORIGIN
Spread as creators started making dedicated videos hyping up a specific friend's best qualities and availability, turning matchmaking into public short-form content instead of a private favor.
