Why is it called motorboating? - FMHY

I’m not a native English speaker, but I do get most of the slangs. Still, this one got me puzzled 🤔… I really can’t see any relation to motors or boats in this.

Because it sounds like a motor boat.

Really? I’ve never been on a motor boat, I wouldn’t know.

At least that explains why I couldn’t find logic behind the slang.

Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.

Because internal combustion engine shipping sounds ridiculous

Two stroke engine floatation if I may

Yeah, two strokes sounds about right :/

A stroke and and a half is the best I can do. Take it or leave it.

The way the person’s head is moving.
Show thread0x4E4FJul 18, 2023
Hm, also kinda makes sense.
Show threadfsniperJul 18, 2023
Ok so what is that mean? I am not familiar with the slang at all? Also I suppose I need to point out I am not native too.

The act of placing one’s head between a woman’s breasts and making the sound of a motorboat with one’s lips whilst moving the head from side to side.

In addition to what others have said, observe that as a motorboat pushes through the water it creates a wake, a pair of waves that curve up and away from the boat.

Mhm… yeah, you could do waves on breasts I guess… if they’re big enough, lol 😂.
