"Today I was on the train , and a really smelly person shat their pants while making intense eye contact with me. They looked... smug? It was very scary"
This is their meetcute.
What does this mean? I understand the whole story until now
Ah, a meetcute is a word (people may spell it normally with a space) for the moment in (usually) fiction where the two love interests meet for the first time and it's clear to the audience they were meant to be.
Basically, the exact contents of the word: meet-cute = cute first meeting moment.
My comment was basically a joke, that this seemingly awful first experience was when these two people knew they were meant for each other (possibly, the intense eye contact might be the cute indicator of such a moment; that kind of thing. The absurdity is most of the joke).
Let me know if anything still isn't clear!
Meetpoop.
