Angel Shot Trend Meaning and Explanation
Angel Shot isn’t a drink that you can order at a bar but it’s a phrase that you can let your bartender know for them to help you out.
According to Budget Branders, an angel shot is a quite unique trend. Actually it’s a phrase that an individual can use to pretend like he’s ordering something at a bar or a restaurant to let the staff know they are feeling unsafe.
This allows the staff to take immediate action without drawing too much attention or putting someone in danger.
How Did It Start?
The angel shot is a product of an “Ask for Angela” campaign, which was started in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. This campaign was aimed to help the others who felt unsafe and to prevent the sexual assault.
According to this campaign, if someone did not feel safe, they could tell the restaurant or bar that they went to “ask for Angela”.
This way, the staff at the restaurant or bar will immediately be notified that something is wrong and it would also give them time to call a cab or police as required to help the person in need.
Angel Shot is also the same thing as “ask for Angela” but the United States natives have been calling it as “angel shot”.
TikTok Gets Sweeped by the Trend
The Angel Shot trend was made popular by TikTok user Benjamin Smith. He is a bartender in LA, he made the video to educate the people on how they could ask for help.
