manual release

A farting technique in which the flatulent person grabs one butt cheek and pulls the ass apart so that gas is expelled soundlessly, or almost soundlessly.

The manual release is sometimes accompanied by a subtly airy 'whooshing' or 'hissing' sound. Most dog farts make a similarly subtle sound, largely due to canines' utter lack of butt cheeks.

According to urban legend, this is also the same sound made by the fudge jar when a fart comes out. For example, one would expect the goatse man's flatulence to behave in this manner.
The most polite way to fart in public is the manual release.

...that is, unless someone sees you while you're gripping your butt cheek...then you may have to do some 'splaining.

Manual Release

A hilariously sterile, sci-fi-sounding euphemism for a handjob, often used to describe the discreet (or not-so-discreet) culmination of events in a strip club, VIP booth, massage setting, or other private sexual event specifically involving genital stimulation by means of handwork that is administered by a consenting professional.

Can be upgraded to "full manual release" to emphasize successful completion. Not to be confused with (1) car manuals; (2) hydraulic pressure valves, or; (3) actual ship operations.
Mr. Y: "He walked out of the VIP booth all red-faced and smiling. Let's just say, manual release was achieved."

Mr. X: "Bro, the girl whispered 'for another $100 I'll take care of you'--and next thing I knew, it was like Data ripping the fucking panel off the bulkhead outside of main engineering in Star Trek: First Contact. Full. Manual. Release."
