manual release

A farting technique in which the flatulent person grabs one butt cheek and pulls the ass apart so that gas is expelled soundlessly, or almost soundlessly.

The manual release is sometimes accompanied by a subtly airy 'whooshing' or 'hissing' sound. Most dog farts make a similarly subtle sound, largely due to canines' utter lack of butt cheeks.

According to urban legend, this is also the same sound made by the fudge jar when a fart comes out. For example, one would expect the goatse man's flatulence to behave in this manner.
The most polite way to fart in public is the manual release.

...that is, unless someone sees you while you're gripping your butt cheek...then you may have to do some 'splaining.

Manual Release

A hilariously sterile, sci-fi-sounding euphemism for a handjob, often used to describe the discreet (or not-so-discreet) culmination of events in a strip club, VIP booth, massage setting, or other private sexual event specifically involving genital stimulation by means of handwork that is administered by a consenting professional.

Can be upgraded to "full manual release" to emphasize successful completion. Not to be confused with (1) car manuals; (2) hydraulic pressure valves, or; (3) actual ship operations.
Mr. Y: "He walked out of the VIP booth all red-faced and smiling. Let's just say, manual release was achieved."

Mr. X: "Bro, the girl whispered 'for another $100 I'll take care of you'--and next thing I knew, it was like Data ripping the fucking panel off the bulkhead outside of main engineering in Star Trek: First Contact. Full. Manual. Release."

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
