respiration 

Essential life process where oxygen reacts with glucose from the food that you eat to provide your body with energy. The two by-products of this process are carbon dioxide, which is exhaled along with the rest of the harmless gases that entered your lungs but did not diffuse into your blood, and water.

Not to be confused with breathing, which is how the oxygen enters the body.
If you cannot breathe, oxygen cannot enter your lungs and therefore cannot diffuse into your blood. With no oxygen your cells cannot respire and will therefore die.

Respiration:

Oxygen + Glucose -> Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water

jock strap respiration

Immediatly after doing so, the victim is tackled to the ground and the cup will be held on for as long as possible until the victim fights himself off from the grapple.

Post attack, the victim is especially angry and considered extremely dangerous. Keep distance and seek shelter.

Maximum effect achieved on a hot, humid day after a long practice, in which the cup will reek of a putrid smell and be oddly moist.
