motorboat
Powered lake craft
A motorboat is a boat propelled by an internal combustion engine rather than sails, oars, or paddles.
The term covers everything from small recreational craft to larger speedboats and cabin cruisers.
As a verb, motorboat has a vulgar slang meaning: to place one's face between someone's breasts and shake one's head rapidly while making a vibrating sound with the lips, mimicking the noise of a boat engine.
