"Sea ottering" is to cuddle and fall asleep with a partner.

This is because sea otters often rest together in 'rafts' and hold paws so that they don't float away from their group, as seen in the popular YouTube video "Otters holding hands" by user cynthiaholmes.
Girl: Sea otters are so cute. Did you know they hold paws when they sleep to keep from floating away from eachother?

Boy: Haha no I never knew that, that's actually pretty cute.

Girl: Isn't it!

Boy: Yeah, and hey, maybe we can 'sea otter' sometime, yeah?

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
