Jay Leno is quoted as saying “Today is Valentine’s Day – or, as men like to call it, Extortion Day!”

He is joking that men feel that Valentine’s Day is a way for women to extort or coerce men into buying flowers, candy, fancy dinners, and other gifts through the implicit threat or expectation of emotional retaliation like tears or anger if men are not seen as being generous or romantic on the holiday.

His comment suggests that some men feel pressured or obligated to spend money on their significant others for Valentine’s Day against their will.

David Letterman was suggesting it as a tongue-in-cheek money-saving tip for Valentine’s Day. By breaking up briefly before the holiday and getting back together after, one could avoid having to buy gifts, flowers, chocolates or take their partner out for a fancy Valentine’s Day dinner.

Of course, most partners would not appreciate such a scheme and it was likely meant as a joke highlighting ways to save money by forgoing traditional Valentine’s Day celebrations and gestures of affection.
