pushing the green thread

Yo, did you push the green thread? Your sensitivity is whack at 60°
Took me forever to push the green thread on this notch. Sigh.

Gush Push

Similar to male teabagging, a female squats over someone’s face and lowers her vagina onto the person. Gush Push is used as a practical joke or prank when performed on someone who is passed out or asleep. It can also be a sexual act as well.

At the sorority house last night, silly Sally drank 3 bottles of Boone's Farm wine passed out on the floor again, but this time the whole pledge class gave her a Gush Push! Like, tots embarrassing!
