A maneuver in Modern Warfare 2 in which members of one team single handedly wipe out the other team by going around the side of the map and sneaking up on them. This tactic can only be performed on the Hardcore Search and Destroy game setting. In other words it is a flank. Just before the game begins, players must announce which direction the reach around will take place making sure that there is no confusion amongst the team members. It is important that while undertaking this endeavor one must repeatedly shout "we're giving 'em the reach around" on the game chat in a rather annoying tone in order to ensure proper reach around etiquette.
Person 1: Dude we totally gave them the 'ole reach around that game.
Person 2: We sure did man. We sure did.
Person 3: Lawl.
Person 2: We sure did man. We sure did.
Person 3: Lawl.

I just bought some non-teary eye baby shampoo, because last night I had to do a reach around in the shower.

At the end of the shower you have to reach around and spread your buttocks to rinse out trapped soap.
Every day in the shower Danny would reach around and spread his cheeks to make sure he wasn't still soapy.
