When a woman decides that the love of her life isn't enough and searches for not just one, but several men to penetrate her while she encourages her man to stay patient and await her return. She declares that this behavior is navigating as in navigating the bad waters. Usually the bad waters are only bad because she creates such storms in her life and the life of the man who deeply loves her. As the man deeply in love with her discusses her behavior with his friends, "Navigating" soon transforms into the more appropriate word, "NaviSkanking".
This behavior became highly evident in the song "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Maraz as the lyrics states that "And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find". This song has actually became the battle cry for these women as they relate their behavior to the lyrics and selfishly hope that their man (husband or boyfriend) will endure the hardships in which she has created.
It is also worth noting that this type of behavior is mostly common in the Americanized female population and is one of the leading factors to the high female initiated divorce rate that no one is talking about.

womp
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
