IF YOU’RE READING THESE AT WORK, YOU WILL LAUGH/CRY/PUKE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

hehehe…“the scrotalness” made me just giggle. I’m sure my roommate is wondering why I’m giggling like a schoolgirl.

Mehem. Let the education commence.

Donkey Punch: when you’re doing someone doggy style (usually in the butt) and just before you’re about to cum, you land a vicious punch to to the back of the doggy style-ee’s head. That last clench pushes you over the edge. You smoke a cigarette, they get a nuprin.

Cleveland Steamer aka the Berlin Steamer (and, in its various incarnations as…) the Hot Carl, the Glass Bottom Boat and (one of my personal favorites) the Chili Dog: Both steamers, Cleveland and Berlin are snapping a deuce on her chest after the Main Event is over. The Glass Bottom Boat involves saran wrap and usually a loaf on the face (insert a big “eww”). The Hot Carl involves no such saran wrap. The Chili Dog, however is a delightful little technique (if you’re into it). IT’s when you unload your cargo on her chest, then fuck her boobs.

The Arabian Goggles aka Arab Goggles: brother of the Tebag. Stand over someone and droop your nuts into their eye sockets. Booyah.

Hey…you asked!

I was just WAY too happy and eager to share

Ah…I forgot the Sanchez.

Dirty Sanchez aka Dirty Mexican aka Stinky Sanchez aka Stinky Mexican: When you’re done sodomozing your partner, use your fingre (or wangage) to smear the leftover fecal compounds on said partner’s upper lip, like a moustache.

Speaking as one of the kids of today (I’m 20 and I coach an “inner city” debate team. . . so I hear it all), I have never in my life heard “ballin” to mean fucking.

For example: if you were to say, “Oh shit, he’s ballin!” that means he’s a “pimp”- has lots of money, lots of women, etc. Sure, he probably fucks a lot, but that’s part of it.

I too wondered how a lesbian could skunk, but my ignorance has now been fought! :eek:

And frankly, I still am plauged with wonder regarding what-- exactly-- poodle ballin is. I can’t believe Britney Spears is outsmartting the greatest and most perverted minds of our generation. ☹

Just think of the parts involved, and what may or may not be slappin’ up against some delicate areas.

I think this comes from the money that NBA guys make, then sometimes spend in flash, stoopid ways.

I should change my name to “Guerilla Ignorance Fighter”

I’m 24 and I know of “balling” as a synonym of sex. I knew it was also more '60s, '70s, and early’80s though.

Sorry, it’s gone the way of “Gee that’s swell!”  
Lemme see if I can’t come up with something disgusting for “poodle balling”. Then, we can see how close I am to the real thing if/when we find it out.

Hm…maybe i should do homework instead…nah!

I think we all get _where_ it comes from. The problem is that people from my generation just don’t use the term that way. It’s old people slang that most of us aren’t familiar with.

You people made me go do research, for SHAME! 😉

Anywho, according to [UrbanDictionary.com](http://UrbanDictionary.com) [“ballin” can be defined a few ways, none of which involve the above mentioned sex act](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ballin) (there are several definitions, but these are the mostly widely approved):

> [@](#):
>
> 1. ballin -Ebonics.  
> 1.) To play basketball.  
> 2.) Living in affluence/wealth.
> 
> (Using the word in a coherent, non-ebonics sentence) He called me up and told me he was ballin, but I later found out he was cheating on me.

> [@](#):
>
> 1. ballin
> 
> Livin the good life
> 
> “Im still ballin” (im still livin the good life)

> [@](#):
>
> 1. ballin
> 
> 2. n): To play basketball
> 
> 1. adj): One who is in a state of being extremely rich and likes to show off how rich he is.
> 
> Master P is ballin with all his money.

But more importantly, one farther down the page tries to explain where the term comes from:

> [@](#):
>
> 1. ballin
> 
> Ballin, is slang for either selling large quantities of drugs, turning a profit off of any activity where something is sold, being well off financially, or playing basketball well. Someone who is ballin is known as a baller.
> 
> The term ballin (technically ballin’…an abbreviation of the word balling) draws its origins from the illegal cocaine trade. On the upper rungs of the drug trade, dealers buy cocaine by the kilogram (kilo or key), and distribute to lower dealers in portions of an 1/8 ounce (known as an eightball, or ball). Therefore, a drug dealer who is ballin’ is buying kilo’s of cocaine at a bulk price, and selling eighth’s of an ounce to lesser dealers at an inflated price.

The above are all examples of how I’ve always heard “ballin” used, both in real life and in rap songs, movies, etc. Perhaps in previous generations the slang had something to do with sex, but I can honestly say that I’ve never heard the word used in a sexual context.

But we are detracting from the point: poodle ballin?

So Master P. is ballin in all three contexts.

Drop City, T.C. Boyle’s 200-something novel about a late-69’s commune has people refering to sex as balling all the time. I agree that it’s somewhat fallen out of fashion, but I’m surprised that an educated person would have never heard the term.

Anyway, I thought Spears did a great job on W&G. Quite a different role than the one she played in Fahrenheit 911.
