waterboarding

A type of torture method where water is poured onto a cloth or a piece of fabric covering the face of a person. Since the wet fabric makes it near impossible to breathe, the person being “waterboarded” will feel as if they are drowning, despite them not being in any sort of body of water. Usually, water is poured intermittently to prevent death. However, there have been cases of deaths by asphyxia due to waterboarding.

To put it simply, waterboarding is not as fun as it sounds.
