Earthing Ablution
Earthing ablution is the act of tapping both palms on a sandy earth surface. The act is meant to purify. It is said to be necessary before prayer, after an orgasm or ejaculation, if one does not find water to shower, for both males and females. Simply, the act involves stretching both palms, as though one is displaying the number ten with his hands, then tapping on a sandy earth surface, blowing on hands to remove excess dust, then rubbing one's hands and face as though washing them with water.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
