Draping a towel over the back of your partner whilst they maintain a tabular position on their hands and knees, to wipe the pool of semen congregating in the arch of their back, after pulling out of doggystyle to ejaculate on their spine.

"What are you doing in there? Hurry up and set the table, it's sticking to my back and I can't hold this position forever."

*Partner emerges 5 minutes later grasping a towel, ready to set the table after cleaning his penis and enduring a post intercourse piss with a raging hard on*

Or

"I just cum inside these days because I can't be bothered setting the table"

Seth To The Rock

Essentially a miserable fail resulting in a win, or a clutch against all odds. It's basically pulling a complete 180, only the end result is typically extremely epic and/or significant.

Note: If you are witnessing or performing a Seth To The Rock moment it is ESSENTIAL that you scream "SETH TO THE ROCK!!!" or else it is considered just a win, not an epic win.

Football Player 1: "Our team was losing 4 -1 and there was only 45 seconds left on the clock, but then we got 2 miracle interceptions and a TD and won with 1 second left"
Football Player 2: "It was a SETH TO THE ROCK moment.

Teen 1: "Were playing search in MW2 and I was last alive vs. the the entire enemy team. I killed everyone with a riot shield and final kill was an across the map throwing knife to break the tie and win the game. It was a SETH TO THE ROCK moment.

The story of David and Goliath is an example of a SETH TO THE ROCK moment.
