People share it to mock someone's flirting as way too direct or overconfident, usually with an embarrassed laugh attached. It marks the exact moment an innuendo lands too heavy to ignore.

Where does the “Want some salami?” meme come from?

La que se avecina, created by Alberto and Laura Caballero with Daniel Deorador, is the spiritual sequel to Aquí no hay quien viva and premiered on Telecinco on 22 April 2007. Amador Rivas, the building's doorman, repeatedly fails at seducing his neighbours throughout the show. His salami question, delivered with a smug grin, plays on the obvious innuendo and was clipped as a standalone soundbite, replayed across Spanish social media to call out overconfident flirting.
