The One With the Thumb

Phoebe entered Central Perk and greeted her 6 friends, "Hi guys!"
"Hey, Pheebs!" "Hi!" Everyone acknowledged her.
"Hey," Ross nodded to the blonde. "Oh, oh, how'd it go?"
"Um, not so good," she responded. "He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'"
"Ohh." "Ouch."
"What? He said 'we should do it again'," Rachel questioned. "That's good, right?"
"Uh, no," Monica clarified. "Loosely translated 'We should do this again' means 'You will never see me naked'."
"Since when?" Rachel walked over from her spot behind the bar. She seemed suspicious of this newfound knowledge.
"Since always," Joey answered. "It's like dating language. Y'know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'." Samantha nodded in confirmation.
"Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'," Chandler added an example.
"Or, or, y'know, um, 'I think we should see other people' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'."
"And everybody knows this?" Rachel challenged.
"Yeah," Joey confirmed. "Cushions the blow."
"Sammy, you knew this too?" Rachel turned to Samantha who sat on a stool adjacent to Joey.
"Yeah," Samantha answered as if it was obvious. "Once I had a guy tell me, 'you're a great person, but I'm just not looking for a serious relationship'." The others grimaced upon hearing this.
"Well, w-what does that mean," Rachel questioned her friend.
"How do I put this nicely," Samantha paused to think. "You're not a good person, you annoy me to the ends of the earth, and I'm through with this relationship."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah," Chandler started. "It's like when you're a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm."
Ross began gesturing to Monica "That's funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dog off to live on a farm."
