Alright. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but here we are.

After a post in which I highlighted Rachel Maddow's brilliant mocking of the right-wing's teabagging movement (as well as an anti-gay-rights group's embrace of online dude cruising) I received a couple of emails. Some were funny, some were spiteful, but a couple were straight up inquisitive: "What's teabagging?"

The readers are right to ask. For those in the know Maddow's segment is hilarious, but if you didn't understand the sexual double entendre in play the video may have left you a little confused. Of course Maddow, being on national television, couldn't really clarify the graphic definition of teabagging.

Luckily I, being on the interwebs, can.

So in a post that would make my 14-year-old self proud (ok, my adult self is kind of enjoying this too), I bring you a couple of definitions of 'teabagging,' via the Urban Dictionary (Grandma, if you're reading this, know that I love you, but now's the time to stop):
