waterfalling
Dropping like rapids
Waterfalling describes the practice of drinking from a shared bottle or container by pouring liquid into the mouth without letting lips touch it, preventing the spread of germs.
The technique requires tilting both head and container so water falls freely into the open mouth.
Can you waterfall that, or do you need a cup?
The term also appears in business contexts to describe cascading processes or sequential task management that flows downward like a waterfall.
