The act of stuffing ones ass with as much sand as possible, squatting down and then letting the sand slowly pour out into another persons' gaping anus. If all the sand has been transferred, switch positions and repeat. Bonus points if you can get some consistency going e.g. switching every 10 minutes.
Alex: Bro, we really gotta start practising our hourglassing, our times are all over the place
Tim: I'm not your bro, fucker. Now hurry up with the sand.

One of the four traditional body shapes described by the fashion industry. It is defined by a woman's body measurements-the circumference of the bust, waist and hips.
The hourglass figure is a rare figure. Not extremely rare but rare enough to not be too common. The most common body shape (what 90% of women have) is the rectangle figure, it is the most common and the pear figure-which is usually mistaken as an hourglass figure, is the second most common. The rectangular figure is 90% of women, the pear figure is at 25%, and the hourglass figure is 8%.
