Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.
BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.

Get the greenwash mug.A Reverse Greenwood combines several other well known deviant sex acts in one, resulting in pain and humiliation for one or both partners. In the Reverse Greenwood the male performs a reverse helicopter and then, while his penis is in the female's vagina, he inserts both testicles into her anus (double dongo style) and then deficates on her lower back.
Last night I thought that Mike was looking for something under the bed, next thing I know he pulled a Reverse Greenwood on me. It was warm and troublesome. I was humiliated, completely.
