In video games: A process of overriding automatic saves by manually saving your game at points that may prove to be challenging or likely to lead to a death or a game over screen.
Save cycling can also be used to manipulate RNG in order to leave the player with a more favorable item pickup or enemy encounter, and is often done multiple times in a row.
Most importantly, this is not an intended use of the game-save feature and normally requires an exploit such as unlinking auto-save data (often a cloud save), so it cannot be automatically overwritten and requires manual intervention.

I just couldn't beat the third boss after going through the whole level again, so I save cycled just before the encounter and did it on my third try!
Save cycling was my only option to get the ultra rare spank emote; it took 100 tries, but I got the Platinum trophy!

When you tactically bat one out so that you'll last longer should you be lucky enough to get some action later on.
Joshephina: Wow, honey! You lasted much longer than your standard 45 seconds tonight.
Esteban: Yes, dear. I got my wank cycles right today in the hope of having prolonged sexual intercourse with you this evening. Thanks for noticing. Two minutes is a new record.

When you, allegedly, murder a victim and stuff them in a freezer for a week only to violate the body in any orifice that pleases the individual preforming The Polynesian Cumsicle, filling the victim up with seminal fluids, putting a popsicle stick in said orifice, returning them to the freezer and presenting the gift to the next victim. Once the next victim has put the treat in their mouth, The Polynesian Cumsicle Cycle starts again.
"Did you hear about the weird guy down the street?"
"Yeah I heard he put some hookers through the The Polynesian Cumsicle Cycle."
