worm-dogging

(verb)

The act of discreetly relieving an intense, unexpected itch in one’s butt while in public—most commonly at a grocery store—by sitting on the corner or edge of a chair and subtly rocking back and forth.

Often performed instinctively and without shame when no bathroom or privacy is immediately available.
“I wasn’t even halfway through the produce aisle when the itch hit, so I started worm-dogging on the café chair near the entrance.”
