The musicians work to build incredible intensity, or other various, clever emotional connections to their audience, and when overcome by feelings of joy and appreciation, members may immediately and briefly clap, whistle or shout, to show their feelings of appreciation to the musician or musicians performing on stage.

A slang term used most often in adolescence, referring to the act of fellatio, or oral sex. It is the subservient act of orally stimulating the male sex organ. It is performed mainly with the lips, mouth and tongue, with which suction pressure is applied to the male organ.
