table poaching

The act of patrons staking out and claiming a table in a "seat yourself" lounge/restaurant before staff is given a fair chance to buss it off or previous customers leave. This usually happens during a dinner-rush.

This results in the server becoming annoyed and having to awkwardly reach over and make "small talk" with customers as they wipe off the previous mess.
Server 1: " My table is just about to leave, they're getting their coats on. I just have to ring-up a Mastercard, and I can clear it off..."

Server 2: "Too late. Check out the dude at the entrance. Definitely table poaching. He's making a bee-line to 106. Aaaaand, yup, he just asked your table if he could sit there."

Whittaker's table

Pos: Noun

This is when somebody who has a large stomach that protrudes sits down and realizes that they cant reach the table or other surface to place food and eat like a normal person. So they then lean back and puff their stomach out and use it as a mobile table. Works very nicely and can accommodate a Big Mac meal if the technique is used correctly.
"Earlier today i used whittaker's table technique to hold my entire lunch. It saved me the trouble of finding a table! Plus i could eat anywhere i wanted!"

Setting the Table

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"
