Just like spooning, the act of cuddling or sleeping with two people facing the same direction and in direct contact. Named after the Takahashi River in Japan which curves around several small cities.

Used as an invective by U.S. Navy sailors in the eastern Pacific fleet, particularly handy where swearing out loud can be detrimental to your naval career. Pronounced "ta-ka-HA-she", quickly. A great workplace substitute for "f**k".
