tossing salad

Mixing leafy ingredients

Tossing salad is the act of mixing salad ingredients by lifting and turning them to distribute dressing evenly: She was tossing salad when the guests arrived.

In vulgar slang, tossing salad means performing anilingus—oral stimulation of the anus.

The slang emerged from prison culture and spread through comedy and hip-hop.
