motorboating
Powerboat water travel
Motorboating is the activity of riding in or operating a boat powered by a motor, as opposed to sailing or rowing.
In vulgar slang, motorboating refers to placing one's face between someone's breasts and moving the head rapidly side to side while making a sputtering sound with the lips, mimicking an outboard motor.
We spent the afternoon motorboating on the lake.
The slang usage is crude and typically appears in comedy or locker-room contexts.
