Retrogurgitation

Combination of retro and regurgitation. Refers to product styling bestowed upon a product that just needs to be killed because it has not evolved, and the designers and marketing dept have run out of new ideas, so they just drag out 40 year-old photos, and say "here, let's just do this again".

Typified by recent versions of the Cooper Mini, Mustang, Beetle, Charger, and the PT Cruiser/Chevy HHR separated-at-birth twins.

A Retrograde Wheelbarrow is where the female places her hands on the ground to support herself whilst the male picks up her lower body and thrusts into her, mimicking a wheelbarrow (with extra sex).
A Retrograde Machinegun Wheelbarrow is the same, but the female places her hands onto a machine gun emplacement and fires, causing vibrations to resonate throughout the female, and into the male, resulting in increased pleasure for both members.

May be performed during actual defence of a position for extra tension.
