shrimping

Harvesting small crustaceans

Shrimping is the activity of catching shrimp, whether commercially or recreationally, typically using nets, traps, or trawls in coastal waters.

In sexual slang, shrimping refers to sucking or licking someone's toes, a foot fetish practice.

The fishing sense dominates in contexts involving boats, seasons, and regulations: The shrimping industry took a hit after the oil spill.

The sexual sense appears mainly in informal or explicit discussions.
