I’ve heard the term used before, and undoubtedly it’s something sexual. But what is it? If someone offered to tea-bag me, should I take them up on the offer? ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > If someone offered to tea-bag me, should I take them up on the offer? heh. depends. A bunch of my friends (all in their 30s to 40s) think it is funny to teabag someone who has passed out. Typically, someone shoots a pic of the event and it circulates the next week via email.

Ha! “Sponsored link” now is U.S. FDA Registration Register your Company with FDA to comply with the Bioterrorism Act [www.fdaregistrar.com](http://www.fdaregistrar.com) _snerk_ I guess Teabagging could be construed as bioterrorism. ---

So it turns out that those who have blocked the ads are now missing a fun part of the SDMB experience. This is the sixth or seventh thread I’ve seen in which the ads coupled with the comments about them are simply great. Ah, well. ---

So if that’s teabagging, then what is the name of the practice whereby one’s testicles are enveloped by a teapot of lukewarm water, while one’s partner lovingly blows down the spout to provide for a small, intimate and refreshing Jacuzzi? I think we need to know. ---

> [@Dewey Finn](#): > > FYI, John Waters’s film “Pecker” was the first place I saw this term used. I remember watching an interview of Waters, where he said that it was just something random he threw into the movie and the term was made up on the spot. He seemed surprised and a little flattered that teabagging became such a sensation. ---

> [@Dewey Finn](#): > > FYI, John Waters’s film “Pecker” was the first place I saw this term used. First and only time I’m come across (so to speak) this term is in the recent terrific little Australian film [Somersault](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381429/).
