sprawl

To occupy the largest amount of space as possible, spreading every part of your body to occupy the surface you are on, whether it be a chair, couch, bed, or even a counter.

The Art of Sprawling is best performed while lying down. A trained 'Sprawler' will spread their legs and arms out as far as possible, in order to occupy every corner and crevice.

"Jim, leave some space on the couch man, don't sprawl!"

sprawl

The counter for a single or double leg takedown in wrestling. Done right, it puts you in a dominant position on top of the opponent.

Yesterday I sprawled on that wimp, landed on top, turned him over and put him flat on his back for the pin.

To spread out like butter with sexual intentions

Lane came back to see nathan sprawled on his bed with butter in his belly button and his schlong in his right hand. Lane thought it was rad so he hopped on and took it for a ride

Sprawl

When black people are scared they do the "Sprawl". The scare results in them jumping with their feet landing wide apart, arms stretched out, and in a slight ducking position.

I was scaring in a haunted house and jumped out at this black boy and he did the sprawl.
